Scarabceus— The skin of cucumber peeled thin, and strewed OH the floor with the juicy side up, is generally found efficacious. authority would have sought out a means to vindicate its power at the smallest cost of life. It was the ferocity displayed by these mutineers towards captives, women and children, that led to the direction so unusual in the order of a British general to give no quarter, and which justified, nay demanded, that direction. But as to all the rest, the British authorities, and the British soldiers, will be ready and willing to shew mercy. It may be necessary for political purposes to treat Delhi as the old Romans would, under similar circumstances, have treated it, but even then, when the order has gone forth " to raze it to the ground and to plough it with barren salt," all care will be taken to inflict as little suffering as possible on its unwarlike inhabi- tants. They will be removed to another place, but not personally injured. A different line of conduct, one such as that recommended by the Mawworms, aud even attempted bv some of their number to be enforced by authority, would but lead to a renewal of the scenes which have recently horrified the world. Who believes that mercy shown to Madame Brinvilliers would have staved her in her course of poisoning, or that a free pardon to John Thurtell or Rush would have induced either of them to look on the mur- der of auy one obnoxious to him as a crime? Nay more, what rational man can doubt that impunity to tliem would have en- couraged others like them to the perpetration of similar crimes P What is true of individuals is true of tribes aud classes. If the Nana Sahibs of India were to be spared, how many others are there who would renew their crimes in the assurance of par- taking their safety P Women and children would again be mur- dered, siuce a mawkish sentimentality had given encouragement to wholesale murderers.

Delhi has been stormed, and the English flag floats triumph- antly over the city which traditionally represents Indian empire. The spirit in which the " exasperated English" intend to gratify their " vengeance" is shown in the clearest manner by the admirable order issued by General Wilson preparatory to the assault. What injustice has been done to English feeling, and how nobly has that injustice been answered ! When unarmed men were massacred, when captives who had capitulated upon terms were wantonly slaughtered, when women and children were in cold blood butchered with a barbarity which has never been exceeded even in the moment of sacking a town taken after the most desperate resistance, a cry, a natural, justifiable, honourable ( honourable because strictly just) cry for vengeance rose throughout the land. Then Mawworms who were in no danger, aud felt no sympathy for those who had borne the heaviest sufferings, and were quite incapable of seeing what was the prudent as well as the proper course, began to talk of mercy for the perpetrators of these wilful barbarities, which had been accumulated in frightful numbers, and were unequalled in fero- city. And foreign writers, taking their cue from these unworthy sons of an outraged country, assumed that English vengeance would resemble Indian savageness, and from various parts of Europe came the needless expression of a hope that the English would not indulge in indiscriminate vengeance. The expression of this hope was defamatory of the English character, but it proceeded from men who did not know the English, and wrongly trusted to those unworthy sons of the English soil who would see English blood wantonly spilled, and English honour scandalously insulted, without an effort to avenge the one or to vindicate the other. The Times corre- spondent, writing a few days ago from Vienna, declared that the Vienna journalists desired the triumph of the English arms in India, but, he added, " it is, however, my duty to state that they one and all express their regret that the British press does not enter an energetic protest against the slaughter of unoffending and helpless women and children in India." Was there ever anything more cruelly slanderous against nation, no one of whose speakers or writers had ever suggested that the murdering Indian women and children could atone for the previous murdering of English women and children? Ven- geance had been demanded, but the destruction of the inno- cent is not vengeance— the destruction of the guilty alone fulfils that wish. The deaths of 100,000 helpless Indian females would be no satisfaction. The capture and punishment of Nana Sahib and such wretches would alone afford it. What has been the course really pursued at Delhi, where men panting for ven- geance and ready to spill their best blood to attain it saw it within their grasp ? Let the foreigners who have misunderstood us, and the Mawworms who have maligned us, read what has taken place there. Just before leading his army on to the as- sault of Delhi General Wilson published an order, not in vague generalities recommending mercy to the helpless, but in plain and direct terms commanding it. He described the conduct of the " bloodthirsty" and murderous mutineers, and said, " No quarter should be given to the mutineers ; at the same time, for the sake of humanity, and for the honour of the country they belong to, he calls upon the troops to spare all women ana children that may come in their way." Was this a mere empty address ? Was it ineffectual ? Quite the reverse— it was honestly meant, and it was honourably obeyed. Not only were women ana children spared, but an officer writes that " Many of the city people have come in for and received quarter; sepoys wanted to come, but not permitted." The mutineers were not spared — nor did they deserve to be. By military law their lives were forfeited, but had mutiny been their only crime English THE PRINCIPALITIES. As time goes on, the motives of the hypocritical intermeddlers in the matters of the Principalities become apparent, and the course for every honest man to pursue in the business becomes clear. These intermeddlers must be checked. By our foolish system of secret diplomacy, and by the wretched inanity of the House of Commons, which permits that system to be dominant, it is almost impossible for any one to discover the various threads that move the diplomatic puppets until the puppet farce has b8eu played out, and the discovery has thus been rendered wholly useless. This rule has happily been subjected to an ex- ception in the case of the Principalities. Turkey has hitherto applied a power of passive resistance to the intended wrong, so steady and so strong that Europe is likely to know the truth before the wrong can be perpetrated. No doubt can now re- main that not merely the Government of France ( indeed that is not much to be wondered at) has been made a dupe by Russia, but that some of the Liberal newspapers of this country have been put in a similar predicament. Both will be disabused now that the truth has become known. The Russian game has been played adroitly, the interest of individuals and the fa- vourite theories of politicians have been skilfully but unostenta- tiously worked upon, and Moldavians and Wallachiaus them- selves have been induced, under a notion of promoting their country's independence, do aid iu subjecting it to the proximate evil of Russian preponderance and the ultimate curse of Rus- sian rule. The " Secret Correspondence" has disclosed the avowal of the Russian Court in 1853 of its desire to dismember the Turkish Empire, and thus to appropriate its possessions. What was then desired is still the favourite scheme of the Russian Court. We all know how such a scheme was begun with regard to Greece, and how all the generous impulses of England and France were worked on to facilitate a scheme by which a Russian puppet was created under the name of a King of Greece. Exactly the same process has again been attempted with regard to the Principal- ities. The same pretences of cruelty by Turkish Pashas caunot now be put forward, and therefore public improvement is the cry that is raised. The improvement of the social condition of the people is proclaimed by a Government whose native subjects are in the lowest state of degradation; the independence of a State is advocated by a Government whose established rule it is to crush independence at all times and in all places; and free- dom, civil and religious, is claimed for the Moldavians and Wallachians by a Government which allows no kind of freedom to the Russians, nor the semblance of it, nor. even of mere toleration to any country over which it possesses either power or influence. Is not one reminded of the fable of the fox and the crow? By auy scheme of flattery, fraud, or influence, Turkey is to be made to drop the cheese which it holds into the mouth of the Russian fox. The folly of such an act would be great, but, so far as Turkey is concerned, its injustice would be greater than its folly. The Russian scheme is to make a State which, being nomi- nally independent, shall be unable to maintain itself, and must therefore apply to a great power to support it as an independent state. To what great power it will apply Russia anticipates with confidence. With all its desire for dominion, Austria has not half the skill for intrigue which Russia possesses. There is not a single official in any part of the newly- constituted Rounsan kingdom that would not be assailed by Russian envoys with every temptation that can be offered to his pride, his passions, or his interests. In the contest for winning Roumania by fraud the Austrian would be hope- lessly left in the lurch by its cleverer and more snaky neigh- bour. Austria knows this, and knows that, as a consequence of Russian supremacy in Moldavia and Wallachia, all the com- merce of the empire connected with the Danube would lie at the mercy of Russia, and ( which it deems more important still) it would be taken in the rear and flank by Russian mili- tary strategy. For once, therefore, its own interests and fears compelling it to do so, Austria is actiug fairly towards Turkey, and we are happy to believe that our own Government and its representative are both alike struggling to serve the cause of justice and of Europe. The matter stands thus. The Governments of Moldavia and Wallachia require improvement. When the Western Govern- ments undertook to defend the independence and integrity of Turkey, they assumed the right to insist on administrative reforms, especially in favour of those who, though Turkish subjects, called themselves Christians. Turkey consented to this as the condition of European assistance against the Czar, and Turkey does not in the least degree shrink from an honest performance of what it promised. The Divans of the Two Principalities were to be convoked to declare what each of them wished in the way of administrative reform, aud in the treaty of March, 1856, words were introduced which provided for their being convoked for this purpose. But when Turkey was thus deemed to be defini- tively bound, the Russians sought to put on these words in the treaty a construction which, if adopted, would be fatal to the sovereignty of Turkey over the Principalities. The attempt was made, although the treaty expressly guaranteed the con- tinuance of that sovereignty. The Russian scheme was, that the Divans should consider whether the two Principalities ( in that state mere dependent provinces) should be united, and form a new kingdom with a new dynasty placed on its throne. In other words, these provinces were to determine whether they would form an independent sovereign state. As Austria knew that the immediate result of this pretended independence would be actual subjection to Russia, it opposed this union, and England opposed the union because to declare it was to violate beth the spirit and the letter of the treaty into which all the powers had solemnly entered. For some time France was divided from England and sided with Russia on this matter. How that happened may well be conceived. The French Am- bassador at St Petersburg, perhaps, found it convenient to be- come more a Russian than a Frenchman. France was in this, as in many other instances, likely to be sacrificed, both in inte- rests and honour, for the caprices of one individual. But a dif- ferent state of tkings has now arisen ; and it is believed that the French Government is fully aware of the folly it might have committed, and the danger it has escaped. And though certain of the Moldo- Wallachs may desire the union— some because they hoped for rank and wealth and honours under the new dynasty, and some because of more respectable motives— there is good reason to believe that Turkey will continue uninjured, and that the Principalities, free from Russian slavery, will still enjoy the benefits of Turkish moderation. TELEGRAPHIC MESSAGES. Whatever may have been the causes which led to the recent trial at the Central Criminal Court, there can be no doubt that it has afforded information of which advantage ought at once to be taken. It is clear that under the existing system tele- graphic messages may be known to others besides those for whom they were intended ; that they may be delayed or ad- vanced according to an individual caprice, and that there are persons who have it iu their power to take a fraudulent advan- tage of that information which others have at great trouble and expense procured. All this is the reverse of what it ought to be. A new and fairer system must be established. No man should feel that if he despatches a telegraphic message it may be spied upon and used to his own disadvantage. The Times suggests that the persons employed should, while actually at work, be in a room from which no egress should be permitted, and that the messages received and delivered by mechanical means should he delivered out in sealed envelopes. We heartily concur with the suggestion ; for, though agreeing with our con- temporary that rogues will find some means to defeat the best devices employed to guard against their roguery, it is some- thing to know that the diflicuties in the way of rogues are ren- dered as numerous and perplexing as possible. It is the interest of the shareholders in existing railway companies to see that their mode of doing business is ren- dered free from suspicion. If they neglect this duty they must be prepared for the consequences. The Government and the people must and will take the measures necessary for their own protection. SUBWAYS IN LONDON. A scheme is now on foot for the construction of underground, roads and paths in the metropolis. The Board of Works hits ad- vertised for plans. If the scheme could be carried into effect a great benefit would, no doubt, be conferred on the public. At present some part or other of the town is always in a state of blockade for the want of this underground communication. This evil might no doubt be obviated, but the application of the remedy will, at this time of day, be a most expensive affair. Still it is possible that it has become a matter of necessity, and that the expense must be borne. Let the Board of Works avoid such a costly necessity for the future. Iu the next session ther< j ought to be introduced a hill compelling the builder of any new houses to prepare drains and subways in conformity with a plan previ- ously settled by authority. As new streets of houses arise above the ground, new means for draining and lighting them, without any disturbance of their surface, should arise above it. SHOCKING OCCURRENCE IN THE STRAND. — On Tuesday evening a very shocking accident happened near Ag& r- atreet, in the Strand, to Mr Charles Webb, a gentleman holding a situa- tion in the Bank of England, who was getting off an omnibus, when he fell head- foremost into the street, alighting upon his head. It was considered by all who witnessed tho accident that he was killed. He was taken up in a perfectly insensible state, bleeding profusely from the head. He was conveyed to Charing- cross Hospital, and Mr Bennett, the house- surgeon, was promptly in attendance; it was discovered that the unfortunate gentleman had received a severe scalp wound and fractured skull; his nose was also broken to pieces. He died on Thursday. THE RECENT HEAVY GALES.— Advices received at Lloyd's on Saturday week from the outports report the loss of about 15 vessels, arising from the recent severe weather. The intelligence from Yarmouth mentions the loss of eight ships in the vicinity of that port alone, and in the case of one wreck— that of the On- tario— the sad news is conveyed of no less than 22 persons meet- ing with a watery grave.— On Saturday evening week Mr Press, coroner for Norfolk, held an inquest at Caistor, near Great Yar- mouth, on the bodies of a seaman washed ashore from the un- fortunate Ontario, of South Shields, and of Mrs Balfour, the wife of the captain of the same vessel. The bodies, which were much disfigured, were viewed by the jury in the life- boat house at Caistor, and a verdict of Accidentally Drowned was returned. The jury at the same time expressed a strong opinion as to the neglected state into whicjj the life- boat at Caistor had been suf- fered to fall. Mrs Balfour was washed ashore from the Ontario in her night dress, and a portion of the crew were probably in their berths when the ship struck on the sand. The eastern coast has not been visited with so fearful a gale for many years. AN EGYPTIAN TOMB.— M Tournal, the conservator of the Museum of Narbonne, announces that a tomb which had been discovered a few years ago by the galley slaves working in the port of Tarragona turns out to have been constructed by some Egyptian colonists who had come over to Spain. The tomb was of white marble, and covered with inscriptions ; the galley slaves broke it into fragments, many of which were thrown into the sea, but about thirty of them were brought up by M Her- nandez, the conservator of the monuments of tne province. This tomb lay at a great depth under a Greek pavement and a Roman mosaic. Other Egyptian relics have since been dis- covered near the same place, especially a fragment of a zodiac, and several inscriptions which have been translated as follows : " Horus or Phr6 ( the sun), the beloved of Phthah and Ammon. Osiris, KingofAmenti and of the upper aud lower regions. Toth ( Hermes), doubly great among the gods, the beloved son of Isis, the Divine mother." A vase with hieroglyphics, a ring with the sacred scarabams, and several small mummies in clay have also been discovered on the same spot. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. FALL OF DELHI. The following is a copy of the letter from the Bombay corre- spondent of The Times, giving particulars of the fall of Delhi, and other matters, up to the departure of the mail :— " BOMBAY, OCT 3.— At length I am able to announce to you the fall of the revolted capital of North- Western India, or, if that appellation be not strictly correct, of the ancient chief city of the Mogul empire, in which a faithless soldiery had sought to re- erect the independent throne of the descendant of Baber. Delhi is once more in possession of the British. Our information at present is more scanty than could be desired, owing partly to the dawk communication being unluckily intercepted between Lahore and Mooltan. But the main facts have reached us from so many quarters as to leave no doubt whatever that the place was assaulted with success on the 14th of September, when a permanent lodgment was effected, that during the four or five following days further advances and acquisitions on the city were made, and that finally on the 20th the whole of the space enclosed within the walls was in our possession. I should observe, however, that we have not received as yet such certain evidence of the truth of the latter part of this story as of that of tke former. The proceedings of the 14th, 15th, and 16th are known to us, however, compendiously from the official bulletins issued by the Chief Commissioner at Lahore, aud founded, as you know, on telegraphic messages from Delhi. But of the final occupation on the 20th we have only heard by an express from the Residency at Jeypore iu Raj- pootana, which reached Lord Elphinstone by way of Ahmedabad yesterday. It is dated at Jeypore on the evening of the 23d, and is to the effect that the news had just been received at the Resi- dency both from the Rajah and also from the Vakeel or Minister of the Nawab of Jhujjur, to whom it may be presumed to have been forwarded by his master, a chief resident in the immediate neighbourhood of Delhi. " But to complete, as far as my present materials will allow, the story of the avenging army. When I closed my last letter we had heard that the heavy siege train was expected to reach the camp in a very few days, aud that works were being erected wherein to mount the guns ou their arrival. While the troops were thus busy the enemy was inactive. There were none of those desperate sallies from the city that characterised the early days of the siege, when day by day successive waves of mutiny were shattered against the heights of the British position; and though their artillery was not silent, the only success attained was on the night of the 1st of September, when a shell from the battery on the further side of the river ( of which I wrote iu my last) burst among a picket of the 61st, in front of the Metcalfe House, killing two men and wounding seven. On the morning of the 4th arrived in camp the long- looked- for siege train of be- tween thirty and forty heavy guns, howitzers, and mortars, with large quantities of ammunition, escorted by the remaining wing of the 8th Foot, two more companies of the 61st, and a wing of the 1st Beloooh battalion of the Bombay Army. On the 6th came in from Meerut a most valuable reinforcement in 200 of the 60th Rifles and 100 Artillery recruits. To the latter were added 45 men of the 9th Lancers. The place of this detachment was supplied at Meerut by the 7th Punjab Iufantry. On the following day the army was further strengthened by the 4th Punjab Rifles, under Captain Wilde, and by some troops of the Jheend Rajah. On the night of the 7th the advanced batteries intended for the destruction of the Moree bastion aud the adja- cent curtain were armed with ten heavy guns at about 650 yards from the bastion, aud an enclosure within halt that distance of the walls, called the Koodsea Bagh, was occupied by a detach- ment of infantry and artillery. In these operations we sustained a loss ofsomething under50 killed and wounded, twoollieers being among the former, Lieuts Hildebrand, of the Bengal Artillery, and Bannerman, of the Bombay Fusiliers, attached to the Be loochees, the latter a promising young officer, well known to myself and to many people here, aud by all regretted. The next day was marked by the opening of the advanced batteries on the Moree bastion, and by the arrival in camp of ttee Jumrnoo or Cashmere Contingent. Meanwhile the engineers were hard at work in the erection of other batteries. On the 11th a mortar battery opened on the Morte from the Koodsea Bagh, at little more than 300 yards, and upost the Cashmere aud Water bastions a fire was commenced from 16 heavy guns and howitzers and 10 large mortars, planted at two points in front of the enclosure known as Ludlow Castle, and so noted in W j Id's map. On the I2th the attack on the Water bastion was strengthened by four 18- pounders and two light ( 5i inch) mortars ^ increased after- wards apparently to eight of the former and twtlve of the latter), planted at 200 and 250 yards from tbe wall and the Custom House compound near the river. The fire of the enemy was most severe upon the last- named batteries, which were ex- posed not only to the guns of the Water bastion, but to those in the old inner fort of Selimghur, and also to those on the other side of the river. Here Capt Fagan of the Artillery, described as a most enterprising and excelleut officer, fell, shot through the head. No other fatal casualty occurred among the officers during these days, nor does the general loss appear to have been severe, con- sidering the proximity of the batteries to the walls and the tenacity of the defence, the enemy keeping up a vigorous fire of musketry from rifle- pits and patches of jungle even after their heavy guns were rendered unserviceable. This latter re- sult was rapidly produced by the precision and weight of the constant discharges from our batteries. By the 13th the Cash- mere bastion was in ruins, and had long ceased to return a shot to the fire that was contiuuaily kept up upon it. Tne adjoining curtains on either side were similarly ruiued, and from the debris of the Moree bastion only a light gun or two at intervals replied to the heavy shot aud shell that were poured into it. At the other end of the works the Water bastion bad suffered scarcely less severely, its extreme magazine was blown up, aud a light gun which enfiladed our batteries had been silenced. And now, the moment for the assault drawing near, General Wilson promulgated the following excellent order :— " ' The force assembled before Delhi has had much hardship and fatigue to undergo since its arrival in this camp, all of which has been most cheerfully borne by officers and men. The time is now drawing near when the major- general commanding the force trusts that their labours will be over, and they will be rewarded by the capture of the city for all their past exertions, and for a cheerful endurance of still greater fatigue and expo- sure. The troops will be required to aid and assist the engineers in the erection of the batteries and trenches, and in daily expo- sure to the suu, as covering parties. " ' The Artillery will have even harder work than they yet have had, and which they have so well aud cheerfully performed hitherto; this, however, will be for a short period ouly, and when ordered to the assault the major- general feels assured British pluck and determination will carry everything before them, and that the bloodthirsty and murderous mutineers against whom they are fighting will be driven headlong out of their stronghold or be exterminated ; but to enable them to de this, he warns the troops of the absolute necessity of their keep- ing together and not straggling from their columns— by this can success only be secured. " ' Major- General Wilson need hardly remind the troops of the cruel murders committed on their officers and comrades, as well as their wives and children, to move them in the deadly strug- gle. No quarter should be given to the mutineers ; at the same time, for the sake of humanity, and the honour of the country they belong to, he calls upon them to spare all womeu and chU- dren that may come in their way. "' It is so imperative, not only for their safety, but for the success of the assault, that meu should not straggle from their column, that the major- general feels it his duty to direct all commanding officers to impress this strictly upon their men, and he is confident that, after this warning, the men's good sense and discipline will induce them to obey their officers, and keep steady to their duty. It is to be explained to every reximent that indiscriminate plunder will not be allowed; that prize agents have been appointed, by whom all captured property will be collected aud sold, to be divided, according to the rules and regulations on this head, fairly among all men engaged ; and that any man found guilty of having concealed captured property will be made to restore it, and will forfeit all claims to the general prize ; he will also be likely to be made over to the Provost- Marshal, to be summarily dealt with. The major- general calls upon the officers of the force to lend their zealous and efficient co- operation in the erection of the works of the siege now about to be commenced. He looks especially to the regimental officers of all grades to impress upon their men that to work in the trenches during a siege is as necessary aud as honourable as to fight in the ranks during a battle. He will hold all officers responsible for their utmost being done to carry out the directions of the engineers, aud he confidently trusts that all will exhibit a healthy and hearty spirit of emulation and zeal, from which he has no doubt that the happiest results will follow in the brilliant termination of all their labours.' " On the morning of the 14th, soon after daybreak, the assault took place. The attacking columns were— as I gather from a letter that I have seen, written on the following day by an officer of rank in tue army, which, though short, is, as far as I know, the only communication of so late a date that has yet reached Bombay— three i l number, one being held, as I under- stand it, in reserve. Their strength is not given. The main point of assault was the breach at the Cashmere bastion. One column, however, consisting of Ghoorkas and the newly arrived Jummoo contingent, was directed to make a diversion by at- tacking the Kishengunge suburb, which lies outside the Lahore gate on the western side of the city, aud, if it succeeded in carrying the suburb, to assault the gate itself. But the suburb was| occupied by the enemy in force, with a battery of heavy guns. The Cashmeriau troops behaved indifferently, and in spite of the efforts of the brave Ghoorkas the column was re- pulsed. Its commanding officer, Major Reid, of theSirmoor battalion, is among the wounded of the day ; but on the northern side of the city all went well. The troops entered at the breach with no serious opposition, and spreading to the left and right occupied the ' whole lin » of defences from the Water bastion to the Cabulgate, including the Cashmere gate and bastion, Moree gate and bastion, the English church, Skinner's house, and the grounds about.' The principal loss sustained by the assailants was due to the obstinate resistance they met with in clearing their way along the ramparts to the Cabul gate, and afterwards in an attempt to penetrate beyond that point into the denser parts of the city in the direction of the Jumma Mus- jid. In all the loss amounted to about 500 killed and wounded. Five officers are reported to have been slain— Tandy, of the Bengal Engineers; M'Barnet, of the late 55th Native Infantry; Murray, of the Guides; Bradshaw, of the 52d Foot; and Fitz- gerald, of the 75th. Captain Rosse, of the Carabineers, Major Jacob, of the 1st Bengal Fusiliers, and Lieutenant Homfray, lst Punjab Infantry, are returned as having died of wounds re- ceived. Brigadier Nicholson was wounded, and his brother, of Coke's Rifles, and many others, in all about thirty. Of the loss of the mutineers I do not observe even an estimate. It is only said that bodies of them were seen to be retreating both to the south of the city in the direction of Kootub, and also across the bridge of boats, and that our cavalry had moved round the city to intercept and destroy the former. Our victorious infantry, prudently recalled from too hasty an advance into the close lanes of the city, occupied the comparatively open space inside the Cashmere gate, aud the walls which they had won upon either side of it. Head- quarters were established in the house once occupied by the renowned Irregular Horseman, Skinner, and now known to us by his name, to the natives as Secunder's. Preparations were at once made for shelling the enemy out of the palace, the Selimghur, and the other strong places of the city, and the firing com- menced next morning, the 15th. By the evening of that day a breach was effected in the wall of the magazine enclosure, which was held in force by the enemy, and the place was stormed the next morning by the 61st Foot, and detachments of the Bslooch battalion and Wilde's Rifles. In it were captured 125 pieces of cannon. The palace being now well exposed the guns and mortars opened upon it from the magazine enclosure, and the enemy appears to have fallen back at all points. Thus the Kishengunge battery, which had repulsed the Jummoo troops, was abandoned and occupied, and the guns there taken swelled the total number of captured pieces to upwards of 200. The battery on the further side of the river seems also to have been abandoned, and at the date of the latest certain and official news— seven p. m. on the 16th— an attack upon the magazine had been repulsed, a chain of posts had been estab- lished from the Cabul gate to the magazine, and the enemy some hours before day fall had been maintaining only a detached and desultory warfare from the tops of the houses. Many towns- people had come in and received quarter, which was of course refused to every sepoy. All this is so satisfactory that we may well credit the tale from Jeypore that on the 20th the place was entirely in our hands. But I shall keep this letter open to the last in hope of fuller intelligence, as a steamer is just in from Kurrachee, which Mr Frere was keeping ready for an emer- gency, and which he would not have despatched unless he had something worth sending. I must not omit, by the way, to mention that the Jeypore report asserts— though I do not credit it— that the King of Delhi escaped to a neighbouring shrine in the disguise of a woman. Scindia, it is moreover reported, was raising 15,000 men to intercept fugitives. " To the north- west of Delhi, in the Hurrianah district, Ge- neral Van Cortlandt is still busy repressing disturbance and re settling the country. On Sept 6th an insurgent village near Hansi was surprised and its occupants driven out and dispersed, with the loss of one of the ringleaders in the mutiny of the Hur- rianah battalion and 25 of his men. I read, too, of what appears to be the destruction of another village at a later date, when a number of tho mutinied 10th Cavalry fell, and several prisoners, formerly of the same rrgiment, were forthwith executed. Ou this occasion a large amount of booty in horses, cattle, & ud money fell into the hands of the General's men. From Meerut we do not hear of any more raids against insurgent chiefs, nor does our news from Agra report any further proceedings on the part of Major Montgomery since his very successful engagement at Hattrass with Ghose Mahomed Khan, the self- styled subah- dar of the King of Delhi, which I mentioned in my last, and which appears to have quieted the country about Allyghur. In- deed, our intelligence from Agra is well- nigh contained in the single announcement of the death of Mr Colvm, Lieut- Governor of the North- West Provinces, on the 9th of September. This eminent, aud, at the commencement of the outbreak, most popular servant, succumbed to an attack of dysentery, a dis- ease to the growth of which the confined limits of the crowded fort must have been only too favourable. Mr Reade, the senior civil servant present, assumed temporary charge of the govern- ment upon the death of his chief. On the other side of the Doab two civilians, regarding whose safety fears were entertained, have been preserved by a native, one Haldeo Buksh, ef Dhurr- napore, aud by him forwarded to Cawnpore. They are, Mr Edwards, collector of Budaon, and Mr Probyn, collector of Futtehghur, with his wife and children. Several other Euro* peans are reported to be in hiding in the neighbourhood. " Regarding Cawnpore aud Lucknow, I am unable to give you so favourable an account as a fortnight ago I, with reason as I thought, anticipated that I should be able to do. General Outram, you will remember, in his letter of the 2d September, to which I referred in my last, expressed a hepe that he should get over the distance betweeK Allahabad ( where he was at the time of writing) and Cawnpore by the 9th. In this hope he was, however, disappointed. Probably, after enduring so much rain, more than the ordinary difficulties embarrassed his march ; and on one occasion, at least, his advauce was impeded by an armed force, or his progress hindered by the necessity of chastising it. A party, estimated by its subsequent destroyer at about 300 strong, with a fsw guns ( the number is not mentioned), crossed the Ganges from Oude, presumably for the purpose of plunder, at a point ahead of Sir James's line of march. As soon as they were heard of Major Vincent Eyre, of old Affghan and recent Arrah celebrity, was sent on with part of his own battery, de- tachments of the 5th and 64th Foot, and a troop ef Irregular Horse, to attack and disperse them. On the major's approach the enemy hastily betook themselves to their boats, pursued by the cavalry, upon whom, when they had re embarked, they kept up a smart fire. Even when the infantry came up and poured volley atter volley into the crowded boats the rebels still made what defence and return they could, but when the field pieces opened with grape they threw themselves panic- stricken into the river, to perish almost to a man under the lire of all arms that rained upon them from the bank. The boats were sunk and the guns with them. This was on the 10th of September. On the 15th, the head- quarters ol the Fusiliers and the remainder • u u78tl1 Highlanders reached Cawnpore, aud, Sir James with the rest of the force being expected on the following day, orders were given by General Havelock to prepare to commence the crossing of the river at half- past two the next morning. This I know from a private letter from one of the officers of the 78th, and nothing, so far as I am aware, has arrived from Cawupore direct to lead us to sup- pose that counter- orders were subsequently issued and that the crossing was delayed. But when the Calcutta steamer for Suez called at Madras three days ago, Lord Harris, as the result of the information brought to him by that vessel, telegraphed to the Bombay Government thus — ' General Havelock's force crossed the Ganges from Cawnpore on the 19th; skirmishing was goi* on'— a message which, 1 must think, might have been a little luiler and more < xplicit. Of the imprisoned garrison of Luckuow we have heard but very little. That little, however, is all encouraging, though vague. They had undermined and blown up a house near the entrenchment, with a number of fanatics who occupied it, and then sallying out had spiked the two 18- pounders which the enemy had brought to bear upon them, though without doing much damage. Of the amount of provisions we hear nothing one way or the other. On the whole, I may repeat that wo know of nothing tending to destroy, or even materially to affect, the confident hopes, which, when I last wrote, were so generally entertained, not only on this side of India, but also at Uawnpore and Allahabad, that this long- beleaguered city will b « > relieved in time to save many valuable lives auu the honour of Englishwomen and of the English name. " Bj tnis time there little doubt that Captain Peel, with the naval brigade, has reached Allahabad, though we have not yet heard of nis arrival. At Calcutta considerable reinforce- ments have amved- therest of the China force, the 23d, 93d, and 82d; the Penelopewith 200 artillery from the Cape, and the oahspareil with two companies of the same corps from Hong Kong, i rom the capital to Allahabad the country on both sides of the river appears to be perfectly quiet again. What has become of the matineeig from Dinapore and Ramghur seems far from clear. Some accounts had represented them to be moving upwards towards Agra by way of Bania. Otkers stated that their main body. ,1Ilder Koor Singh, had turned south- ward froiu Bauua towar.\ 3 the Rewah territories ; others, again, that, beiug warned off by the Rajah of Rewah, they had skirted his country and moved down into Bundelcuud. This last ac- count may be, perhaps, the true one. If not, it is only the mere rumour of their approach that has caused the mutiny of the 50th Bengal Native Infantry at Nagode, in that province; for this regiment, which has remained quiet so long, has gone at last. Its better temper, however, and better dis- cipline stood by it, » 0 may perhaps say, unless it was mere caprice, to a certain extent, even to the end. Be- fore dismissing their officers, which they did without at- tempting violence, they allowed them to blow up the magazine, to destroy some spar,: muskets, and to spike the two or three guns that « ere at the station. They then moved off — perhaps in search ef Koor Singh— after destroying the public buildings, while the officers retired to Jubbulpore. But the con- tagioa of disaffection reached that station also. The corps quartered there was the 52d Native Infantry, which, like tha 50th, had never hitherto shown signs of ill- feeling. But about this time it was discovered that a plot was hatching, in which some of the sepoys and many of the loose population of the town were concerned, to break open the gaol and release certain pri- soners lateiy confined there. This scheme was frustrated. Shortly afterwards an old chief of one of the neighbouring Gond clans waj arrested on suspicion of instigating an attack upon the Europeans and their property, and being convicted was blown from a gun, his son suffering with him for the same crime. A little while longer and the 52d mutinied, taking advantage of the scattered condition of the Madras column, which was stationed at intervals between Jubbu'pore and Saugor, keeping open the road, and was in no great strength at the former station. Their mutiny had in it something of originality. They dismissed all tneir officers but one, Lieutenant Maegregor, whom they retained as a hostage for the safety of their comrades in the two companies that were in advauce with the head- quarters of the Madras column under General Millar at Dumon. This little arrangement they explained in a respectful letter written either to General Millar or to their own commanding officer ( the latter I think, but am not quite sure, as I have only heard of the letter, not seen it), in which they said that in leaving cantonments they by no means considered that they were quit- ting the service of the Sircar; that they remained, and proposed to continue to remain, true and good servants of the Govern- ment ; but that they had heard aud believed that the Sircar in- tended to destroy them, and had brought in the Madrasees foi that purpose. Heuce they thought it better to withdraw till the Sircar should be more properly and kindly disposed towards them. And so the regiment marched off, all but the two com- panies which were with General Miliar, whom the general forth- with cleverly and quietly disarmed. The Bundelas are up in renewed spirits. General Miliar attacked a body of them, and slew 80 without the loss of a man. But another party defeated a salh from the fort of Saugor, killing Colonel Dalzell, of the late 42d, who headed it, and several men. The Madras column abandons Dumoh aud concentrates itself for the protection of Jubbulpore. If, as in spite of their remarkable letter may bs anticipated, the 52d join the Bundelas in strength, the column may have to recross the Nerbudda. If Koor Singh comes down it must; but 1 hope and think that when tidings of tbe fall of Delhi have well filtered through the country many a now for- midable looking band of marauders will be dissipated even more rapidly than it was formed. " Further to the north and west, in the great province of Malwa, things are looking sufficiently well. A letter from an officer at Indore, just received, lies before me. Upon informa- tion which he considers reliable he writes that on the 25th, and for five days previous, Scindia and the mutinied Contingent were at Gwalior face to face, each seeking to coerce the other. The Maharajah had all his guns in position, and from 17,000 to 20,000 men of new and old levies strongly posted. If this be true he has done us good service, aud has saved his sovereignty. Indwre and Mhow are quiet. The succession to the chieftain- ship of Luttam has been tranquilly settled, the disturbed little State of Dhar is at rest again, and, more than all, the Mun- desore insurrection, of which I wrote in my last, is melting away to nothing. Thus in Malwa all is pretty well, nor in Rajpootana is there much amiss, save in the matter of the revolted Joud- pore Legion. These rebels, when I left them a fortnight ago, were, you may remember, posted in a strong village called Awa, where Colonel Lawrence, as 1 had heard, hesitated or declined to attack them. However, he subsequently allowed the Rajah of Joudpore to attempt the place with his troops, unwisely as it would seem, for the Rajah's men, if more nu- merous than his own, were of inferior materials. Accord- ingly their attack was repulsed, and Mr Monk Mason, the Commissioner, who accompanied them, was, it is feared, killed. Then Colonel Lawrence resolved himself to attack. On the 18th of September he led his small body of men from the 85th Foot, the Mhairwarra battalion, and the Bombay Lancers, with a halt- troop of Horse Artillery, against the enemy's posi- tion, which in the high standing corn was scarcely visible. The rebels had the guns of the legion, and made good practice with them. They were driven, however, from two successive posi- tions into the town, and there the triumphs of the day ended, for, the place being evidently unassailable, our troops were forced to draw off, without loss indeed, but no doubt consi- derably to the detriment of our prestige in the district. " For the past fortnight we have had further little disturb- ances iu this presidency, which constitute a drawback, though but a slight one, on the generally favourable character of tne intelligence, and afford a contrast to the loyalty of the Madras army, still unstained, unless by the refusal of the 8th Cavalry to proceed lor service to Bengal, for which, by the way, all the subahilars and the native staff officers have been summarily dis- missed the service. You may remember that I noted in my last that the native artillery at Hyderabad and Shikarpore in Scinde were thought to be wavering, and that a company of European artillerymen had been sent up from Bombay in great haste to relieve them of ttie guns which it was feared they might misuse. At Hyderabad it was found necessary to take prompt mea- sures without waiting for the arrival of the Europeans. Acting upon information derived from his subahdar, Lieutenant Battis- combe, commanding the company, applied to the brigadier, and by means of 500 of the police and 100 picked men of the 13thNative Infantry the golandas were disarmed and the guns taken away into the fort. At Shikarpore, some days later, some 15 of the artillerymen got hold of the guns one very dark night and blazed away at nothing or anything till driven away by the police, who fired at the flashes of the guns. One or two were killed, and the others decamped, only to be brought in dead or alive by the police and the villagers. Here and everywhere throughout Scinde the police have behaved admirably. An affair at Kurrachee was more serious. There, one evening, a plot on the part of his regiment was disclosed to Major Macgregor, of the 2lst Native Infantry, to rise that very night, murder the Europeans, and make off for Hyderabad. Everything seems to have been admirably well managed. The 2d Europeans ( two companies only) and the Horse Artillery were ordered out at once, and the regiment was surprised. Some 27 were missing, all of whom have since been executed or slain by the police or the villagers, and about the same number, whose firelocks were found to be loaded, are to oe transported or life. These men are thought to be, and perhaps are, all the conspirators in the regiment. Elsewhere throughout the presidency we have been quite quiet. By this time General Roberts, who commands in Guzerat, has got the 89th Foot at Ahinedabaa, which will keep everything quiet; and at Kurrachee the wing of the 4th, from the Mauri- tius, has arrived. Here we have the left wing of the 95th, but the head- quarters are not yet heard of. They had not reached the Cape when the left wing sailed from it. " I have received another letter from the officer attached to the mission at Teheran, of whose former communications 1 wrote in my last. I mention this letter because an absurd report has got about here, and may reach England ( though you will know better at home through Constantinople), that Mr Murray has hauled down his flag. The mission was to start for Herat on the day after the date of my letter— the 18th August. They ex- pected to reach that city in forty days by caravan marches, almost precisely the same as those of Ferrier, whose notes and information ( the accuracy of which is, I believe, roundly denied at Teheran, and by his countrymen too) they will be able, and are very desirous, to test. ' The Persian Government,' writes my friend,' is evading the bona fide terms of the treaty in every respect.' ' The Affghans, we hear, are rising far and wide to an- nihilate the Persian forces, now that they know the English have forcea them to evacuate the place.' " P. S. The England brings nothing from Kurrachee but a copy of the Jeypore story which I have before given. But I have been obliged by the perusal of an' extract from a letter re- ceived at Nusseerabad on the evening of the 24th of September from Captain Eden at Jeypore, September 23, 8 a. m.,' which gives details of the doings in Delhi on the 17th and 18th, and which runs thus:—' On the 17th shelling the LalKilla( Red Fort; this appears to be some other stronghold than Selim- Ghur) and city. Fighting all day ; leaders and native officers in open dissension, accusing one another, in presence of the King, of 88 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 25, 1857.

Detachments are out both from Lahore and from Mooltan; but nothing is yet known of the cause or of the magnitude of the obstructor! to the traffic. All was quiet in Sciude, and the authorities were on the alert. . " Letters from Neemuch record a successful operation from that station against Nimbheera, where the Rajah of Tonk was in revolt The detachments of the Bombay 2d Cavalry and 12th Native Infantry, which accompanied the party of the 83d, be- haved very well, replying only with musketry to the cries of * Deen deen" (' the faith'), which met them from th2 walls. The enemy evacuated the place during the night, abandoning Ms guns. The troops are clamorous to be led against Muudesore or BLownuggur, whither the remnant of the Mundesore revolt has betaken itself." ,. . ,, In addition to the above intelligence, we add the following items, which may be interesting :— _ . " Benares, Sept 20. " Generals Outram and Havelock report from Cawnpore on the 19th, at six p. m., that the troops crossed that morning with- out opposition, skirmishing only with advanced posts. " Letters from Lucknow of the 15th or 16th report all well. The assault of the 5th was repulsed with great loss to the """ General Havelock has issued a proclamation, which the Government would do well to follow. All rebels from Oude who are in custody, with their wives and children, are to be kept as hostages, to secure against a repetition at Lucknow and else- where of the atrocities committed at Cawnpore and Jhansi. Cap- tain Bri~, j, who is the superintendent of police, went to search the house of a Nuwab, one of Nana Sahib's followers, for Supers and other matters. The Nuwab is now before uckm-^. and commands a troop of the insurgents. Tn examining the apartments, after seizing all the ; . u- ments, he discovered that the Nuwab had left bis fe male relatives behind. This fact coming to the ears of - General Neill, a guard was at once placed over them, and it was hinted to the ladies that they would be only protected so long as any English women or children who might fall into the bauds of the Oude rebels should be uninjured. It is believed thav this -... Hnjatioii will be conveyed to the Nuwab and bis son, and they Sa^ thus be induced to spare any unfortunates who may happen to fall into their hands, and probably induce the Nana to act after the same way. Any threatening of this sort is perfectly justifiable, and is even dictated by mercy. « one hundred and fifty prisoners, taken by General Nenl at Cawnpore, are said to have been liberated by Mr G P. Grant. The leniency of the Government bas been loudly condemned. " The Belleisle had arrived at Calcutta, with the 93d High- landers. The steamer Madras, with the 3d Light Infantry, from the Cape, reachedGalle on the 25th of September. Also, on the <$ d of October, the Thebes, with part of the 38th Regiment, from England." • NANA SAHIB'S PROCLAMATIONS. The following proclamations issued by this miscreant have been forwarded to The Times for publication. The first is dated the 1st of July:—" As, by the kindness of God and the ikbal or food fortune of the Emperor, all the Christians who were at telhi, Poonah, Satarah, and other places, and even those 5,000 European soldiers who went in disguise into the former city and were discovered, are destroyed and sent to hell by the pious and sagacious troops, who are firm to their religion ; and as they have all been conquered by the present Government, and as no trace of them is left in these places, it is the duty of all the subjects and servants of the Government to rejoice at the de- lightful intelligence, and to carry on their respective work with comfort and ease." Proclamation dated the 1st of July and issued by order of the Nana:—" As, by the bounty of the, glorious Almighty God and the enemy- destroying fortune of the Emperor, the yellow- faced and narrow- minded people have been sent to hell, and Cawn- pore has been conquered, it is neeessary that all the subjects and landowners should be as obedient to the present Govern- ment as they have been to the former one; that all the Govern- ment servants should promptly and cheerfully engage their whole mind in executing the orders of Government; that it is the in- cumbent duty of all the ryots and landed proprietors of every district to rejoice at the thought that the Christians have been seut to hell, and both the Hindoo and Mohammedan religions have been confirmed; and that they should as usual be obe- dient to the authorities of the Government, and never to suffer any complaint against themselves to reach the ears of the higher authority." Order dated the 5th of July to the city Kotwal ( Mayor) by the Nana:—" It has come to our notice that some of the city people, having heard the rumours of the arrival of the European soldiers at Allahabad, are deserting their houses and going out into the districts; you are, therefore, directed to proclaim in each lane and street of the city that regiments of cavalry and infantry and batteries have been despatched to check the Europeans either at Allahabad or Futtehpore; that the people should therefore remain in their houses without any apprehension and engage their minds in carrying on their work." PASSAGE OF BRITISH TROOPS THROUGH EGYPT.—( FROM A TRAVELLER IN THE EAST.)— ALEXANDEIA, OCT 20.— We have had two stirring arrivals here, which hive aroused alike Greek, Mussulman, and Jew. On the 15th the Pehinsular and Oriental steamer Sultan brought us 14 officers and 235 iseu of the 4th and 11th companies of Royal Engineers en route for lpdia. On the 16th the excitement was kept up by a salute fired from a fine 46- gun frigate, which entered this port, and next we sav our gal- lant Pioneers, clothed in the garb of peaceable English husband- men, i. e, in white blouses and wideawakes. The Penirisjilar and Oriental Company's agent of this plaoe, Mr Holton, has made such admirable use of his position to render the transit bf troops across the Desert efficient that he is said to be ready to% undertake to convey comfortably 2,000 English soldiers per month through the Pasha's sand steppes. The Pasha does not at all object to English soldiers crossing his territory in their uniforms and accoutrements, but I think Government acted very wisely in providing our men with white clothing, allowing them only to carry their great coat, bread bag, and replenished water bottles— more than this would unfit men to stand sudden change of climate. The first batch of soldiers traversed the Desert iu 29! hours; the Royal Engineers will have accomplished their journey through the Desert in little more than half the time. At five o'clock on Sunday evening, the 18th instant, Colonel Harness addressed the soldiers in a few, manly, heartfelt words as to the ' nature of the ser- vice rendered by the Pasha to our gracious Sovereign by allowing English troops to traverse his territory, and expressed the con- fident hope that no complaint would be brought against them for violation of hospitality. The men made mien to cheer their colonel and the good ship, en board of which they had been so well cared for ; but so well disciplined were they, that they con- trolled their feelings at first bidding; for the colonel said, " Whatever you do, don't cheer." Though the men traversing the Desert stop every six hours for a good repast, they are never- theless provided with a day's cooked fresh meat ration, b' ead, and a bottle of good drinking water. Colonel Pocklinkton, Deputy- Quartermaster- Geseral of Malta, acts here in concert with Mr Holton. Both gentlemen have hitherto accompanied the troops through the Desert, and both are entitled to a large share of credit for putting their shoulders to the wheel manfully in despatching our men to the seat of war. The Calcutta batch, under Brevet- Major Nicholson, a much- beloved Crimean officer, is accompanied by Colonel Harness, a fine elderly gentleman of high attainments and most courteous manners. The Bombay batch, under Captain Cumberland, is commanded by Captain Fenwick, who has stood the brunt of n. any a battle in the Kaffir war. It must be a severe blow to parent, brother, or sister, to bid adieu to officers of this stamp ; but, had I a son, I would bid him God speed to enrol with such men, who strive to be equal to the emergencies of their time. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH EASTEEN RAILWAY.— On Satur- day week a collision took place near the Bricklayers' Arms sta- tion of the South Eastern Railway, between a passenger and a goods train. The passenger train had discharged its passengers at London Bridge, and was proceeding on the Bricklayers' Arms line to have the carriages cleaned. It had arrived at the Grey- hound Bridge, when a goods train suddenly emerged from a siding, also in the direction of the station, and before it could be stopped came in contact with the passenger train, knocking over the trucks, a first and second class carriage, one over the other. The guard, who was in the break- van, was very severely bruised, but happily no life was lost. The line was blocked up for two or three hours in consequence of this accident. : . ROYAL BRITISH BANK.— The winding up of the Royal British Bank has entered upon a new phase. The assignees, who have been constituted by act of Parliament the representatives of the creditors, have issued a circular to the shareholders, in which they complain bitterly of the neglect or refusal of the shareholders to do their part towards the carrying out of tbe compromise. It will be recollected that the proposal to pay to all the creditors a composition of 6s 6d in the pound, in addition to the dividend to be realised from the estate, was stamped by the assignees and by the committee of shareholders as fair and reasonable. It was accordingly understood that the £ 12,000 de- posited towards the agreed guarantee of £ 20,000 should, within a reasonable period, be increased by the contributions of the FRANCE. DEATH OF GENERAL CAVAIGNAC.— A teleg> aphic despatch frarn Paris dated Friday afternoon states that Geteral Cavaignac has died at his country seat of aneurism of the hea> t. The Moniteur contains a report, addressed to theBmperor by M Magne, relative to the budget for 1858. There is ^ excess m the revenue of 48 millions of francs, 10 millions of wSich are applied to the liquidation of the debt. The ' nandal reVew of the couutrv is of an extremely favourable character. ± hj re- duction of the floating debt is assured, and all 1 < ns1 paia. The proceedings against M Migeon, the s" » » ful candidate for the Haut- Rnin, have not done muchtneautnor. iwes that instituted them, and the decisjns of the Correct; onal Court of ( point, nfri pointment. ^ • u, » .. . sentence Of Che month's imprisonment pronounced for that offence. From the evidence of their own witnesses, the autho- rities have been clearly convicted of employn^ the same elec- toral frauds" for which they prosecuted ft Migeon. I cou d uot be from any zeal for personal or political morality that tne prosecution was decided upon, for the authorities had been long acquainted witli the facts which formed its groundwork, and ^ onTmore ardently defended him . in 1852 from these^ charges which are now alleged as disqualifying him from a seat in the Legislature, than the Procureur himself. To such a point was this indigence carried that the Minister of Justice, maletter, dated September, 1856, requested that functionary not to take proceedings against M Migeon for wearing the decoration of the Legion of ftonour, unless he again committed aninfraction of the law. No such infraction appears to have < Joouired, but the election in which the Government ^ ndidate was defeated took place last June. The wearing of the decoratioa ( which however, was controverted by the witnesses of the defendant, among whom was a functionary of the Government) was ad- duced by the prosecutor as one of the means employed by M Migeon in his canvass. This, however, was refuted successfully by the defendant's counsel, and was scouted by the court When the hostility of the Prefect to the. Pop.. ar candldate was known, the electors were astonished and incredulous. 1 ne sun Prefect was asked to explain the fact. This boldcitizen replied that there was no explanation to give, and, £ efc rd of dence of a witness, added, that when people mean a servant they turn him off without alleging any reason for• what they do. The members of the Legislative CorW cannot be other- wise than flattered at this description The ' d it is true, an uniform-, but, till now, the nc° a not formally declared to be a livery. M Migeon, though not a Knight of the Legion of Honour, is, it appears, a Commander of the Roman Order of St Sylvester, and tU con,> mandership confers the title of " Count Palatine." It may be had for 1,000 francs by any one. M Migeon's title of " Count has been, as these things go, a fair bargain. At what precise period or for what reason Count Migeon forfeited the friendship of the Go- vernment is not clearly stated ; but the feeling of the public de- cidedly is that the Colmar prosecution was the result of irrita- tion at his success. It was stated in evidence that, pending the election, it was announced that proceedings would pe taken against him, but only in case of his success ; ana it is certain that one or more of the mayors were dismissed from their post in consequence of it. AUSTRIA. The Austrian Minister of Finance has again urged theEmperor to reduce the army as the only means of saving the empire from bankruptcy. No decision on this question has been arrived at. The Archduke Maximilian, Governor of Lombardy, has sent a political programme to Vienna containing propositions calcu lated to promote reconciliation between the Austrians and tne Italians. GERMANY. Prussia will make a formal demand on the Diet for forces to coerce Denmark in the matter of Holsteia. The Portuguese Count Livradio has formally demanded the hand of the Princess Stephanie of Baden for the King of Portugal. _ PRUSSIA. „. . . ... The King, acting under the advice of his Ministers, has dele- gated theGovernment to the Prince of Prussia for three months. The Cabinet- Councillor Niebuhr died on the 25th inst. The President of the Council, informed of the event by the Prince of Prussia, immediately proceeded by a special train to Potsdam to take the necessary steps for preserving the State papers and correspondence which were in the keeping of " 1S Majesty s Secretary. . . , . The Prussian Government has considered « anvisaoie. m" form the public that, although it objected to toe first Moldavian elections, it is not inclined to give its supportt0 any party which may attempt to encroach on the rights an' 1 privileges or his Majesty the Sultan. NORWAY AND SWEDE*- " The Norwegian Storthing," says a letter from Christiama, " was dissolved on the 14th by the Prince Recent, whose speech comprised the following passage :—' His Majesty regrets that the Storthing did net adopt the propositions founded on the nature of the union of the two kingdoms, and the common in- terests of the two nations, which are submitted to i » by the Government in order to facilitate reciprocal dommerce and navi- gation, and to regulate certain juridicial relations of the inhabitants of the two States. But the considerable minority which the first of these propositions encountered in the Storthing leads his Majesty to hope that the time is not far distant when the relations of union, so important for the two kingdoms, will be better appreciated, and that all cause fo. r mistrust will have disappeared.'" . .. Baron Blixen- Finecke, brother- in- law of Prince Christian, heir presumptive to the Danish throne, announces 111 the Copen- hagen newspapers of the 15th that he has become a member of the Chamber of Nobles in Sweden, and tli! » t he renounces the rights and titles he possesses in Denmark. GREAT EASTERN STEASFF- SHIP. We were last week favoured with a view of this magnificent monster, which was rendered peculiarly interesting from the circumstance of the near approach of that day when it must slowly but surely be moved down into the river. Now that the shores are to a much greater extent cleared away, the beauty of her lines has become more apparent, and there are parts where a view can be obtained sufficiently uninterrupted which shows her form in such a manner as strongly to remind one of a north country wager four- oar. Viewed from a distance, the mid channel of the river, the extreme beauty and correctness of her proportions diminishes the size apparently to such an extent, that nothing but comparison convinces the eye of her enormous magnitude; and the best is taken from the numberless work- men busy with the tramways below, though even then the mind is more ready to reduce them to Lilliputian proportions than to confess the colossal stature of the ship. The following particu- lars are extracted from an interesting article which appeared in The Times on Wednesday last:— Just now the Great Eastern £ as reached her culminating point of preparations, aud in the gre. it chaos which reigns upon and around the vessel, iron and paint, woodwork and shavings seem to struggle for mastery and possession. It is almost hard to say which most predominates. The gimg- like uproar with which the punching, rolling, welding*, and riveting of iron goes on— the endless variety of steam ai id hand saws always at work, and the amount of timber either ss* wed or being sawn— leaves ihe spectator in a perplexed state to siy in which branch the Great Eastern is most progressing. As rega: Ff, s the preparations for the launching, a brief repetition of the main plan on which they are made may not now be without interest to our readers. Two launching ways, or broad and powerfully built tramways, have been constructed by the railway contractors, Tread well and Co, running from under the fore aud a, fter portions of the vessel down into the river at low water spriiig tide mark. Each of these ways is 300 feet long by 120 wide, atid the distance between the two is al3o about 120 feet. The foundation of each is formed upon seven rows of piles, the four out side rows being driven at three feet iutervals, and the three inner rows at six feet. These piles are all forced home to the gravel of " the river bed, so that they graduate from a length of 32 feet under the ship's bottom to 10 feet at the low water mark. To both sides of the heads of the rows of piles strong timbers, 12 inches by 12 ii. iches, are securely bolted, and the whole area of the way covered with concrete to a thickness of two feet. Above the concrete longitudinal timbers ot great strength are secured at intervals of three feet six inches from centre to centre, and ruU the entire length of the way. Over these again are placed transverse timbers of the same solidity, but only three feet apart, which are bolted together aud again bolted down to tho waliugs to keep them fixed under the pres- sure they will have to bear, and prevent them floating at high tide. Ou these transverse timbers, but running straight from the vessel to the water's edge, are screwed railway metals at intervals of 18 inches' apart. They are the ordinary solid bridge rails used by Mr Brunei on the permanent way of the Great Western Railway, and are, of course, of the strongest kind. The rails complete the ways, which, thus resting on a bed of piles and concrete, form a massive road of crossed and recrossed timbers stretching from under the Great Eastern to low water mark at an inclination of 1 in 12. Down the railway metals on these ways, then, the ship will be slowly lowered into the water on the cradles, which are constructed under her. Tbe cradles are, of course, of the same width as the ways over which they are to run. They are made of large balks or timber, wedged and driven in with a ponderous machine like a battering ram, so as to perfectly fit the ship's bottom. The timbers are principally laid athwartships, with longitudinal beams and shores fastened to the outer side3. All are riveted together with irou bolts and screws and loaded with iron ballast to prevent their floating with the vessel. The bottom of the irou cradle consists of iron bars 7 inches wide and an inch thick, placed at intervals of a foot apart and with their edges carefully ground off, so as to offer no re- sistance to the railway metals of the ways over which they will have to pass. Both launching ways rise slightly at the centre, where the piles are driven at wider intervals, ia order to allow for the depression which is certain to be produced by the passage of such an enormous weight over their surface. Belore the lauuch all the metals of the ways will be thickly coated with a composition of tallow and black lead, sn as to offer no obstruc- tion from friction. The launch will take place on Wednesday next. The chief points on which the energies of Mr Brunei are now concentrated are, first, to overcome the momentum of such a mass down an inclined plane of 1 in 12, and prevent her, when once in motion, dashing entirely away; secondly, if stopped from any cause upon the ways, to overcome the resistance of her enormous weight, and provide sufficient purchase from the water to pull her slowly into motion again. The process of knocking away the shores from under her has proceeded rather extensively, and was to be entirely completed on Saturday, when the vessel will rest only on the two cradles, fore aud aft. Before the last of these, however, are removed, care will be taken that the massive check tackle to hold back the ship is properly hauled taut; for when the vessel is left on the cradles, and the cradles ou the sloping ways, the launch might take place at any moment in the most abrupt and unexpected manner. DENMARK. The FlyveposUn of Copenhagen, a semi- official organ, sug- gests that as the Duchies make an equitable representation of the various territories and nationalities in the Supreme Council the condition of their adhesion to the common constitution, an ar- rangement might be come to on tbe basis that Denmark should elect one- half of the members of that assembly, Holsteiu one- fourth, the German parts of Schleswig one- eighth, and the Danish part of Schleswig the other eighth. A letter from Copenhagen says that if the Ministers really make a proposition to that effect, the Duchies will be pleased with the concession. TURKEY \ The Courrier de Constantinople of the 17th announces that tfie Divan is hostile to the Russian proposals relative to the boundaries of the Asiatic frontier. The Porte, it is said, per- sists in its demand for the restitution of the island of Perim, and refuses to accept a pecuniary indemnity. The ministerial crisis has ended by the return to power of Reschid Pasha. Aali Pasha remains Minister of Foreign Affairs, but with this excep- tion, the whole cabinet has been reconstructed. SERVIA. The semi- official Srbske Novine thus announces to the inhabi- tants of Servia the discovery of a conspiracy against the life of their Sovereign:—" For some time past the police authorities have received communications relative to an impious attempt that was to be made on the life of his highness our gracious lord and prince. It is painful for us to have to state that the Sena- tors Radovan Damjanovitch and Pauu Jankovitch were two of the conspirators. The appearance of a Russian ship of war in the latitude of Rustchuk was regarded by the Porte as a violation of the exist- ing treaties, and that the Grand Vizier, Ali Pasha, had demanded explanations on the subject from the Russian Ambassador at Constantinople. They have been given. RUSSIA. A letter from St Petersburg, in the New Prussian Gazette, gives the following information respecting the reduction or the Russian army:—" The reduction of the guard and of the corps of grenadiers is by no means an isolated measure, but, 011 the contrary, extends to all the infantry of the army. The six war battalions of a regiment of grenadiers of the guard have been re- duced to three, and the eight battalions of the infantry regi- ments to four. The effective strength of eaoh battalion has besides been reduced from 1,002 men to 760. This will make for the 86 regiments of infantry a diminution of 344 war battalions, and the diminution will even be 430, Tor it has been decided that for the future the men of the fourth or reserve battalion ef each regiment shall, in time of peace, be sent on furlough, so that each regiment will only have under amis three battalions, making in all 258 battalions. The regiments which formerly comprised, when on a peace footing, 4,000 men, and with the recruits aud reserves 7,000, will for the future be only 2,100 strong. Each regiment will therefore immediately lose 2,200 men, as the old reserve battalions had been dismissed after the proclamation of peace." In contradiction to this statement is the following:— The Russian legation at Teheran has offered to Persia a division of the army of the Caucasus to aid in the pacifi- cation of Khorassan. We learn from St Petersburg that the in- triguing Queen of Greece actually did propose to the Emperors Napoleon and Alexander while at Stuttgardt to alter the treaties relative to the succession to the Greek throne. Her Majesty represented, that in case of the demise of King Otho without children there would be an interregnum, as his two brothers had declared their resolve not to embrace the Greek faith, and concluded by proposing that the three protecting powers— Eng- land, France, and Russia— should take the necessary steps for making Prince Elimar of Oldenburg the heir presumptive to the throne of his brother- in- law, King Otho. UNITED STATES. The great run on the New York banks had caused the sus- ^^^ pension of many, whereupon a meeting of all the banks was held shareholders to the sum required for the completion of the agree- ! on the 13th> and the following resolutions, were adopted — This has not been done; no addition has been madeto!

The assignees draw' attention to the fact that they are empowered by the act to give shareholders a discharge from all liability if they will come forward with their quota of contri- bution. If they will not, the assignees declare that the compro- mise will fall to the ground, and in this case they threaten to put in force an organised plan which shall reach all shareholders both past and present, as well as those who have left the country. As a last resource, the circular is accompanied by a notification, signed by Messrs Linklater and Hackwood, the solicitors for the assignees, and by Mr R. P. Harding, the official manager, invit- ing a meeting of the whole body of shareholders for the 11th of November, at half- past six p. m., at the Guildhall Coffee- House, with a view to make the requisite arrangements for duly carry- ing out the compromise. ESCAPE OP A TIGEE IN RATCLIFF HIGHWAY— On Monday afternoon, about one o'clock, as a cattle van was conveying from the London Docks a remarkably fine specimen of the Bengal tiger, recently imported by Mr Jamrach, the naturalist, it broke through its cage, and bounded into the road to the intense terror of the passers- by. For some distance it proceeded rapidly up the carriage way, in a crouching position, until it encountered, at the corner of Betts- street, a little boy, aged eleven years, who stood. gazing curiously at the strange spectacle. Before the lad had time to escape from the savage animal's path. it sprang upon him, lacerating tho back of his neck and head iu a frightful man- ner. In the meantime Mr Jamrach, who bad followed the beast, had armed himself with a crowbar, with which he struck re- peated blows on the animal's head to compel it to relinquish its grasp of the boy. The last of these blows took effect, and so far stunned the creature as to enable it to be secured; but we regret to say the bar, glancing from the skull of the brute, inflicted a blow upon the head of the already fearfully mangled little suf- ferer, who was promptly removed to the London Hospital, where he is slowly recovering. It appears that another boy was also injured by the animal, and he is at present under the care of Dr English, of Upper East Smithfield, but his injuries are not so severe. The tiger was a very large animal, ancl was worth about £ 250, and had been purchased by Mr Jamrach for one of the Zoological Gardens. There are serious complaints as to the insecure state of the cage from which the tiger escaped, but Mr Jamrach, who is an experienced man, considered that it was strong enough for the conveyance of such animals. It seems that the tiger became wild from some cause, and forced out the side of the cage with his forefeet. It is a matter of surprise that the savage beast was so soon captured by Mr Jamrach and his men. The former acted in a most daring and determined man- ner by seizing the tiger by the head, while the others secured the animal with ropes, after relinquishing its hold of the boy. It was then dragged into the warehouse yard, and placed in a den well secured. The nose of the animal is much bruised and broken by the blows inflicted on it by Mr Jamrach with a crowbar. MUEDEE AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT BEVERLEY.— On Satur- day morning, at half- past 12 o'clock, a murder and attempted suicide were found to have been committed in the garden of John Maisters, Esq, Register House, Beverley. Mr Maisters bad in his employ Henry Baker, as gardener, and Ellen Hatfield, as housemaid, between whom an intimacy existed, and it was ex- pected that they would be married. On Friday afternoon the female servant went, as it is supposed, to have some conversa- tion with the gardener, and not making her appearance at tea time, she was called for, and did not answer. After some time, as she did not appear, a search was made, and she was found lying dead in the garden, and Baker near her with his throat cut severely. An inquest has been held, and a verdict of Wilful Murder returned against Baker. Jealousy is supposed to be the cause. Whereas in view of the excitement prevailing in this community, and the fact of the actual suspension of a number of banks in this city— Resolved,— That it is expedient that the banks of this city suspend specie payment to- morrow. - Resolved— That a committee of three be appointed to proceed to Albany and re- quest the governor to convene the Legislature, to consider the necessity of enacting some law to give relief in the present financial emergency.— Resolved— That the most energetic exer- tions shall be made for the early resumption of specie payments, and that it be recommended to banks to make no dividend to their stockholders till the resumption of specie nayments." There had been a heavy run on the savings' banks, but all de- mands were promptly met.— TheGovernment had suspended the redemption of Federal stock.— The bills of the Illinois Central, Erie, and Michigan Central railroads had been protested.— Com- mercial failures were numerous and wide spread.— The banks in the Southern States were suspended, but at New Orleans and St Louis their position was still strong. The bank of South Carolina, at Charleston, a state institution, had suspended.— The excitement in New York was very groat. Tbe papers say the general impression was that had the strong banks assisted the weak ones, and carried out their promise to give rather more accommodation to merchants, the crisis would have been averted. AUDACIOUS ROBBEEY BY A POLICE- CONSTABLE.— EXTENSIVE PLUNDEE — During the last few days considerable excitement has prevailed among the officials at Scotland- yard, in conse- quence of information having been received that one of the policemen, Sankey, D 74, attached to the station of Marylebone- lane, had committed a robbery at No. 68, Great Portland- street, by disposing of property which was there td the value of £ 800 or £ 900. It appears that the house in question, having a large garden attached, is situated at the corner of Great Weymouth- street, and is in the occupation of a lady, who has not resided in it for the last five years. It is stated that there was a dispute about the title to the property, and the result of that dispute was a suit in Chancery. The house was furnished, and in addi- tion there were several trunks on the premises containing plate, jewellery, wearing apparel, and various other valable articles, of the estimated value of above £ 800. For the better protection of the property, Sankey, who had been in the division many years, and who was a married man, was allowed to take up his resi- dence there, and where, up to Monday last, he had been three years. On that day ( Monday) his wife went to Twickenham. She returned on Tuesday night, and went to the Bay Malton, a public- house opposite, where her husband used to leave the key. She then went home, but did not see her husband. The next day he did not return. On the following day she discovered that some boxes had been broken open, upon which she gave information at the police- station, Marylebone lane, where the empty boxes are all safely lodged. It has been since ascertained that the accused had taken up with a female, who resided in East- street, Manchester- square, and as the " activity" of the police had not been able to find him, it is supposed he has gone off to Australia. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR WINDSOR.— On Wednesday an in- quest was held at Salthill, near Windsor, on the body of Capt Edward Kelso, who was killed by being run over on Monday on the Slough road. It seems a tailor, named Neighbour, residing at Windsor, was riding from Stoke towards Eton, at a furious rate, and the horse he was on knocked down Capt Kelso and his wife, who was walking with him. Captain Kelso was killed on the spot, and Mrs Kelso so much injured that her life is despaired of. Neighbour declared that the horse had bolted with him, while a witness, named Mendum, stated that he was urging the animal to its utmost speed at the time. The jury returned a verdict of Man* slaughter against William Neighbour, THE LIBEL ON MR CADOGAN.— The trial of Evans and Cap- tain Thorne on the twofold charge of having published a lib « l on the Hon F. W. Cadogan, the deputy- chairman of the Sub- marine Telegraph Company, and of having endeavoured t © ex- tort money by offering to prevent tbe publication of such libel, has terminated in a verdict of Guilty, and a sentence of twelve months' hard labour against both the accused parties. The cir- cumstances of the case were shortly these :— In the early part of August last certain strictures had appeared in The Times' money article with reference to delays that had taken place in the transmission of messages by the Submarine Company. On Monday, the 3rd of August, our contemporary published a let- ter, in reply to these complaints, from Sir James Carmichael, the chairman of the company. On Tuesday, the 4th, the mana- ger of The Times received a telegraphic communication from the defendant Evans, then at Gravesend, stating that he was in a positiou to prove that the management of the Submarine Com- pany was by no means so immaculate as the lett r of Sir J. Carmichael represented it to be. On the next day— he Wed- nesday— Evans appeared himself in person at the City office of The Times, and there had an interview with the gentle- man who so ably conducts the City news of our contempo- rary. On this occasion Evans stated, as the fact was, that for two years previous to 1854 he had been superintendent of the Submarine Company, that he had not been discharged from their service, and had received a testimonial on leaving. He proceeded to state that he was in a position to controvert the statements contained in Sir J. Carmicliael's letter as to the mode in which the affairs of the company were conducted. The City manager of The Times told Evans that he could not then go into the matter, but that if the statements were put into writing they might be sent in. Evans promised to return the same day with a letter embodying tbe charges he had to make. He did not, however, re- appear uutil Saturday, the 8th of August. On that day, accompanied by Captain Thorne, he again presented himself at the City office of TJie Times, and brought with him the letter which constituted the libel. The charges it made were of a very grave nature. It imputed to Mr Cadogau that he was in the habit of visiting the instrument room, read- ing the despatches, and then proceeding at once to his brokers with a view of employing the knowledge thus unfairly gained in operations on the Stock Exchange. It also imputed to him that 011 several occasions he caused the contents of public despatches to be forwarded to his private residence, and that in one specific instance he directed Evans, contrary to the fixed rule of the office, to give precedence to a message of Baron Rothschild's over several others which had arrived before it in order of time. Such were, in substance, the charges contained in the letter. Considering the position of high trust and responsibility occu- pied by Mr Cadogan, it is impossible to conceive accusations of greater gravity. The City manager of The Times very properly declined to take upon himself the responsibility of giving the world- wide circulation of that journal to allegations so serious, and referred Evans to the manager- in- chief of the paper. It was then about three o'clock on the Saturday afternoon. It was notified to Evans that at four o'clock the manager- in- chief would probably leave Printing- house- square, and Evans quitted the City office with the avowed intention of proceeding thither, after having first communicated at the West End with a brother of his, formerly a clerk in the Submarine Company, with a view of verifying certain of the statements in the letter. Evans re- appeared no more that day, but at seven o'clock on that same evening Captain Thorne called upen Mr Cadogan. It is not im- material to remark that this cail at seven o'clock was in con- sequence of an appointment made between two and three the same afternoon. It is not necessary to dwell on what passed at that interview. It is abundantly evident that Thorne at all events wished to make money out of the apprehensions of the prosecutor. Whether Evans was cognisant of his endeavouring to do so appears less clear. The jury by their verdict have found that he did; and ou such a point as this it would be idle to set any conclusions formed from a mere perusal of the evidence against those arrived at, under a grave sense of responsibility, by men who have heard and watched the witnesses, and enjoyed every opportunity of having presented to them all possible views of the case.— Daily News. OPENING OF THE FIEST DOCK ON THE TYNE.— On Thursday took place the formal opening of the first dock on the Tyne. The dock has already been in practical use— the first ship having entered it ou May 7. Thursday's proceedings were in celebra- tion of the laying of the last coping stone by the Duke of North- umberland, after whom the dock is called the Northumberland Dock. It is situated at Hayhole. The area of the main dock is 55 acres ; the tidal basin beiug two acres. The dock and river entrances to the basin are respectively 70 feet wide. The lock is 52 feet wide, and 250 feet between the gates. The sills of the entrances of the 52 feet lock are laid at 10 feet below low water level. When the dock is in full working order, the water can be kept in the dock from 18 to 24 feet, according to the state of the tides. The entire © utlay incurred in the completion of the works is about £ 180,000, being at the rate of little more than £ 3,000 per acre; and we have heard the dock characterised as the cheapest in point of construction of any in the kingdom. The cofferdam was begun August 9,1853, being the first part of the works. It was closed on the 10th of April, 1854. The first stone, which was the pointed sill stone of the 52 feet lock, was laid by Joseph Cowen, Esq, chairman of the Tyne Commission, on the 13th of September, 1854. There are two rows of piles in the embankment, extendi ig to the length of 3,800 feet; the number of piles being 7,600. The embankment involves some- what peculiar principles of construction, which it would perhaps be scarcely justice to the engineers to make public. Suffice it to say that it has answered every purpose ; and that alter beiug put to thefullesttest, it has been found to be perfectly water- tight. The tidal basin is 475 feet in length, and 175 feet in breadth ; including, as already stated, an area of about two acres. The dimensions of the dock are such as to enable some of her Majesty ' s largest steamers to come in and take a supply of coals. The amount of land reclaimed in the construction of the dock has been about 70 acres. There was on one occasion 25 fees of water in the dock ; and the embankment then bore the test to complete satisfaction. This being only a coal dock, the amount of quay space is merely nominal, The dock gates were con- tracted for and constructed by Messrs Hawks and Crawshay. A remarkable fact of a highly gratifying nature is, that tbe'dock has been constructed with little or no interference with the traffic of the river, or with the deep water channel close to the staiths adjoining. It may be worthy of mention that the coals shipped from these staiths at the time when the dock works were commenced were to an annual amount of 1,200,000 tons, and have since increased to an annual amount of 1,400,000. Now that the water is held up in the docks, there will be facilities for shipping double the latter amount, or nearly 3,000,000 tons a- year. In the dock, this week, there have been some sixty or seventy vessels lying, of an average tonnage of 250 tons. A dock now constructing on the opposite side of the river by the North Eastern Railway Company, and called the Jarrow Dock, is pro- gressing favourably. An act of Parliament bas already been obtained for a third dock at Coble Dene, which is to have an area of 40 acres, depth 26 feet, and a 70 feet entrance. When the three docks are completed, Newcastle will be in dock accommodation inferior only to London and Liverpool. About ten o'clock in the morning the Duke of Northumber- land arrived at Newcastle, and proceeded by steam- boat down the river, the shipping of which was gaily decorated as tar as the new dock. The mayor and principal inha bitants, and a large number of ladies and gentlemen from tha immediate neighbourhood, were present to receive his grace, who, after inspecting the dock, received from Joseph Cowen, Esq, a richly- oanamented trowel, manufactured by Messrs Reid and Sons, which bore the following inscription :—" To the Most Noble Algernon, Duke and Earl of Northumberland, & c, K. G., this trowel was presented by the Tyne Improvement Commis- sioiiers, on laying the last stone of the Northumberland Dock, 22d October, 1857." On the reverse side, or back of the trowel, were inscribed the names of the commissioners, with the names of the clerk and secretary— Mr Clayton and Mr Guthrie.— His grace having taken the trowel, and the mortar being applied, the stone was then moved to its position. His grace then said, that instead of laying the foundation stone at the commence- ment of this work, the commissioners had prudently delayed any ceremony until to- day, when the coping stone had been placed. To this dock, which was the first dock ever built on the Tyne, all must wish prosperity. Indeed. no doubt could be enter- tained of its success. There was one matter which was due to the contractor of the works, and that was that no serious acci- dent had occurred. In conclusion, he asked the chairman of the commissioners to accept the trowel as a memorial of the comple- tion of the dock [ cheers.]— After the oeremony, a dinner took place, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland in the chair. There were present— the Mayor, the River Commissioners, Mr G. Ridley, M. P.; Mr Ingham, M. P.; Mr G. Hudson, M. P,; Rev Dr Davies, rector of Gateshead; other geufclemeu. MILITARY INTELLIGENCE. COURT MARTIAL.— On Saturday week a general court martial assembled at Chatham under the presidency of Colonel C. Elm- hirst, commandant of the 3d battalion, for the trial of Ensign Thomas S. Mitchell, 89th Regiment, on a variety of charges for scandalous and disgraceful conduct, the principal of which was for being found in a state of intoxication when on guard. The court assembled at twelve o'clock, but the prisoner, who is with his regiment at Shorncliffe, and who was telegraphed for to attend the court, treated the court with contempt, and did not attend. After waiting for some time the members of the court adjourned until Tuesday morning. In the meantime the prisoner was placed under arrest, but intelligence has since been received that he has broken his arrest and gone to the Continent, leaving be- hind him a letter, addressed to the adjutant of the corps, in which he states that, as there was no doubt whatever of his being found guilty by the general court martial, and, conse- quently dismissed from the service, he declined taking his trial, and had proceeded to France. Iu consequence of the course taken by the prisoner her Majesty will direct his dismissal from the army. TROOPS AT CHATHAM — In consequence of the great increase in the number of troops at Chatham Garrison, owing to the ar- rival of recruits who have joined the Indian battalions, orders have been issued from the War Department to the military storekeeper at the Tower, directing him to forward to Chatham 6,000 stand of rifled muskets and accoutrements for the use of the troops belonging to the Indian corps. The whole of the rifles selected are fitted after the latest and most approved plan, and were manufactured at the Small Arms Manufactory, Enfield. THE NEW 36- INCH MORTAR.— Some of the officials of Wool- wich Arsenal, namely, Coloael Tullooh, superintendent of the Royal Carriage Department ; Colonel Pickering, secretary to the Select Committee; Captain Boxer, Royal Laboratory ; and Mr Anderson, inspector of machinery, accompanied by Pro- fessor W heatstone and Mr R. Mallett, the fouuder, assembled at Woolwich- marsh on Monday, in order to inspect the 36 inch mortar and examine the extent of the injury sustained by the late experiments. After a careful examination of the various compartments it was discovered that, in addition to the rent found in the chamber, a broad wreught iron hoop attached to one of the centre divisional segments had also suffered. The hoop was taken to the foundry at Millwall to be re- paired, and the damage in the interior of tbe chamber is to be repaired in the Arsenal foundry, after which the proof will be continued. Lord Palmerston, Lord Paumure, and Colonel Boldero, M. P., have expressed a desire to witness the future experiments. THE MILITIA.— Orders have been received by the Hon Colonel Monckton, commanding the West York Rifles, to hold that regiment in readiness to march to ShorucHffe. The 3d West York Militia have received orders to proceed from Doncaster to Aldershott in the ensuing week. The corps is under the com- mand of Colonel Loftus, and is in a very efficient condition, though not up to its full strength. The Northamptonshire Mi- litia was embodied on Tuesday at Northampton, and mustered over 700 strong. It is expected that before the 31st, 200 more will come up. The regiment did garrison duty in Gibraltar during the late war, aud was highly complimented by the Go- vernor, Lieutenant- General Sir James Fergusson, K. C. 8. Both officers and men will volunteer again for any foreign station. The Royal Elthorne Light Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Murray Prior, is under orders for Ireland, and expects to proceed to Dublin next week. The regiment numbers close upon 1,000 men, and has its full complement of officers. The2d Royal Lanark Militia assembled for embodiment at Lanark ou the* 21st hist. The regiment is under orders to proceed to Hamilton Barracks, and will occupy the huts erected there during the last war. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS.— Lieutenants: F. F. Doughty and H.

CHANGES IN THE RIVER MERSEY.— A report from the ma- rine surveyor has been presented to the Liverpool Dock trustees, which shows that, opposite Seaconabe and Egremont, the channel of the Mersey has increased in depth, and also in the southern part of the Sloyne. The latter is the anchorage ground for large vessels. One sand bank—" The Dev l's Bank" — had risen from four feet dry at low water to eleven feet. The Runcorn channel had deepened and shifted its position a little to the west. BURGLARY AND ATTEMPTED MURDER NEAR PLYMOUTH.— A daring burglary and attempt to murder took place on Friday night week at Plympton, about four miles east of Plymouth. In one of the numerous gentlemen's seats of that village, called Blacklands, lives Mr Braddon, a retired East India judge. The establishment consists of Mr Braddon himself, his son and daughter, two men, and four women servants. About one o'clock on Friday night week the footman was aroused by the ringing of bis master's bell. O - i going to the room he found the old gentleman faint from blows ou the head, one of which had injured his left eye, and severely cut his cheek. He was scarcely conscious, and quite unable to give an account of how he had been injured. The county police stationed at PlymptoR were at the house early in the morning, and it was found that some person had entered the house by the pantry win- dow, and gone out by the hall door. The poker had been taken from the drawing- room, and it was found in the hall much bent. A cap and a low- quartered shoe were found in the hall. The shoe is such as are generally worn by sea- faring people. The policemen, Bunclark and Perkins, were in the oourse of the morning joined by the ser- geant and inspector of the district, and by Mr Codd, the superintendent, and Sergeant Thomas, of the Ply- mouth borough police ; and the result of their united in- quiries and consultations was a suspicion that the outrage had been committed by a man named James Boghurst, who formerly lived as footman with Mr Braddon, and was suddenly dismissed nearly three years since. Boghurst is understood to have been to sea since as a steward, to have got into some sort of trouble, and spent some time in gaol, from which he has only recently been liberated. He is said to have been seen in the neighbour* hood during the last few days, wearing, as it is believed, the cap found in Blanklands House on Saturday morning week. If it had been the intention of the perpetrator of this outrage to com- mit robbery, it is assumed that he must have been suddenly alarmed; but as no one heard anything of his exit, it is thought the purpose of the villain must have been to murder Mr Brad- don. Mr Braddon is over seventy years of age, and very infirm; and it is thought that the would- be assassin must have supposed his desperate work accomplished by the blows inflicted. There was no blood 011 the poker; but assuming that to have been the murderous implement used, the blows were struck on the bed- clothes, in which Mr Brad don is known to have been in the habit of wrapping his head. The plate in the pantry through which the intruder passed, and Mr Braddon'sgold watch and purse, on his bedroom table, were not meddled with, but an overcoat was taken from the hall. Boghurst and a lad named Brown have ince been apprehended and remanded for a week. DEEDES v WILLIAMS.— SINGULAR ACTION FOB CRUELTY TO A SPOETING DOG.— At Kingston County Court, on Thursday ( before W. F. Fraser, Esq, ju^ ge), this case was tried. Mr Ed- ward Clarke appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr Guy for the de- fendant. Mr Clarke, in opening the case, said it was one of great importance to the sporting world, and to men in general who kept dogs for hunting or game purposes, and also to the owners and occupiers of land, as the questions involved were, first, whether an owner or occupier of land had, a right to shoot a dog for breaking bis close ; and, second, whether an action of trespass would lie against the owner of a dog so trespassing ? The defendant in this case had brought such a cross action for several hundred trespasses. Now, the facts of the case were these:— The plaintiff, Henry Deedes, Esq, was a gentleman holding a high position in the office of the Board of Control, aud resided at Thames Ditton. The defendant was a retired farmer, and lived on his means. The action was to recover £ 25 damages, for the illegally and wantonly wounding a valuable Shannon spaniel— an Irish retriever— by shooting it, on the 27th of August last. For several years past the plaintiff aud de- fendant had been next door neighbours, but their intercourse had been of an unpleasant character, owing to the dogs they respectively kept. The plaintiff had the retriever in question, and the defendant two or three fox dogs, and some poultry, Mr Deedes highly valued the retriever for its purity of breed, but more especially because it had been given to him by his cousin, Lieut Forbes, R. N. ( now serving in China). From 1855, the de- fendant's dogs and poultry had continually trespassed upon and damaged the plaintiff's grounds and garden ; aud occasionally Mr Deedes' dog had slipped his collar and trespassed upon the defendant's grounds. Mutual complaints were made, and in 1856 anew collar, of peculiar construction, which it was thought the dog could not possibly get his head through, was made. Mr Deedes also proposed to Mr Wiliiams that the fence separating their grounds should be repaired at their mutual expense, so as to obviate their mutual annoyance. That the defendant ob- jected to, however, aud the plaintiff repaired the fence himself, at au expense of £ 10. He also gavestriot injunctions to his ser. vants to keep the dog tied up, and it never was unloosed and left by itself. It appeared, however, that the dog, on the 23d of August last, did again slip his collar and pay a flying visit to the defendant's grounds adjoining. Thedefendant complained and told the plaintiff that he would provide " an effectual remedy." Accordingly, on the 27th of August, in a fit of passion or prewieditation, the dog being again 011 his ground, he delibe- rately shot it. The result was, that it was rendered totally blind, and utterly useless for sporting purposes. Its value was esti- mated by the plaintiff at £ 25, and that amount was sought to be recovered. As to the action brought by the defendant for " the several hundred trespasses" complained of, he submitted it would not lie.— His Honour, upon the authority of Leeson v Lord Rayleigh, 6 Raymond, was of the same opinion, but would hear the evidence.— Mr Clarke then said, assuming the action would lie, he should be able to show that bis client has sus- tained greater damage from the trespasses of the defendant's dogs and poultry than the defendant from the alleged " several hundred trespasses" committed by the plaintiff's retriever spaniel. The learned gentleman then called Mr Henry Deedes, the plaintiff, who generally confirmed his opening statement. Mr William George, the eminent dog dealer, said, from the plaintiff's description of the dog's training, he should value it at £ 10. If, however, the dog had been consecutively trained, it would, being a first- rate bred dog, have been worth the £ 25 sought to be reco- vered.— Mr Guy, for the defendant, then addressed the court iti mitigation of damages, alleging that the animal had been consi- derably over- rated in value. He denied that the defendant shot the dog maliciously, and explained that the defendant had charged the gun previously with simple wadding, with which he intended to have shot it. He had then put the gun away in its place. His servant had, without his knowledge, dis- charged it, and, without the defendant's knowledge, had sub- stituted an ordinary charge of shot.— Mr Williams, the de- fendant, in his evidence, said the dog was a terror to him and his family. That on the evening of the 27th of August last it came bounding towards him in a manner evidently hostile; that he ran out of its way, and, taking the gun, he, not know- ing the contents, shot the dog. He also complained of the destructive nature of the dog, which had from time, destroyed many of his choicest plants, and broken tlie glass of his melon frames, by which he had lost them also.— Corroborative evi- dence of the latter portion was then given by several mem- bers of the defendant's family. As to the value of the plain- tiff's dog, an original looking and incongruously dressed indi- vidual was called. His name was Edward Mills. He said the dog was valueless.— His Honour, in delivering judgment, said he was of opinion the defendant's cross action for tres- pass would not lie. It was not a trespass within the meaning of the law, for the dog was simply pursuing his natural instinct. If damage had actually been done to sheep or cattle, then the owner would have had to pay damages, but such an action as the one brought by the defendant he had never known, nor was there such an action. In that case, therefore, defendant, as plaintiff, would be nonsuited. He should, however, take all the circumstances into his consideration, and, in so doing, he came to the conclusion that a verdict for £ 5 5s would meet the jus- tice of the case.— Verdict accordingly.— The costs of the attor- ney to be allowed in both actions upon the lower scale, SIR CHARLES MORGAN'S GREAT CATTLE SHOW.— Sir Charles M. R. Morgan, Bart, of Tredegar Park, near Newport, has fixed the 15th of December next as the period at which his great an- nual show of cattle and stock shall take place at Newport. An immense number of premiums are to be offered, and it is ex- pected to be one of the most important agricultural shows held this year. The hon baronet himself provides no fewer than 12 silver cups, whilst upwards of 30 other gentlemen have given silver cups and plates. The society provides nearly 20 prizes, so that it is fully expected that a monster agricultural show will take place in December. The greatest credit is due to Sir Charles Morgan for the zeal and liberality he has evinced ia the undertaking. THE DRAMA. ADELPHI THEATRE.— On Wednesday night a new aud " original apropos sketch," called, " The Drapery Question ; or, Who's for India f— Mr Charles Selby the author— was produced with roars of laughter, not all to be referred to gratification as the primary source. As will be surmised at once, the idea of " The Drapery Question ; or, Who's for India?" is taken from the somewhat over- serious and over- wrought contest concerning the enlistment of drapers' assistants w hich took place a short time since iu the pages of a mornintr contemporary. A number of these labourers in the linen- yard, each caricatured to the fullest ability of author and actor, have a corresponding number of young milliners, in the same establishment we take it, between whom the game is played, the ladies endeavouring to induce the gentlemen to enlist, that on their departure for India they may take their places at the counter, and the gentlemen not bein* able to make up their minds exactly as to whether they shall abide by the yard or turn to the sword. This is the whole backbone of the plot, and every possible device of extravagance is made use of to colour proceedings impossible of belief, and highly uninteresting in the beholding. Mr Wright supports no less than three parts, two being simulated to forward the scheme of the young ladies. In tho elderly lady who comes to the shop to purchase two yards of the best flannel Mr Wright caricatured the prevailing bias towards amplification of crinoline, and the latest mode of displaying it to advantage, with irresistible effect, and made the house echo again with laughter. No less furiously hyperbolical was the recruiting sergeant of the same performer, whose dress in that part, by the way, would have puzzled Mr Plaacbe to assign it a period, a locality, or a mean- ing. Mr Selby, as a stammering counter exquisite, and Mr. Paul Bedford, as a dandy of the shop on a broader and raore ponderous scale, kept up the spirit of the piece in their most en- larged and high- pressure manner. The principal female cha- racters were sustained by Miss Eliza Harden, Miss Mary Keeley, and Miss Marie Wilton, most amiably and most efficiently, the last lady making her first appearauce at the Adelphi, to which theatre she cannot fail to become a most desirable acquisition. A song and chorus, or burthen, introduced to the air " John Highlaudman," and sung by Miss Mary Keeley and the ladies, was encored. The applause at the end was loud and even bois- terous, but a few dissentient voices would make themselves audible despite the laudatory thunder of the gods. LYCEUM THEATRE.— ON Thursday night a new opera by Mr Balfe was produced at this house, undor the auspices of the new management. For the plot we havii not space, and it may be sufficient for our readers to kuosv that the opera was entirely successful. The music is vastly superior to rnauy of Mr Balfe's former productions. The music of the principal part, sustained by Miss Louisa Pyne, is full of extraordinary difficulties, but was sung in the most perfect manner, apparently without an effort. From the overture to the end, every piece was honoured with unmistakeable manifestations of approval; and no less than six " encores," two or three of them uproarious, were among the significant incidents of the evening. At the end of each act Miss Louisa Pvue and Mr Harrison were called before the foot- lights; aud then, in obedience to a summons from the whole house, Mr Balfe, th « composer, appeared to receive the hearty felicitations of his admirers. When the curtain bad fallen on the third act the applause became quite deafening; Messrs Weiss and Honey came forward, in addition to those we have mentioned ; and last, not least, Mr Mellon, to whose talent and exertions so much of the success was due, and who was received in a manner almost as hearty and spontaneous as Mr ^ alfe himself. This complimeut was well merited, since we believe a more generally correct and effective first appearauce of a new and difficult com- position kas seldom, if ever, been witnessed. We had almost forgotten to state that the opera is called " The Rose of Castille." WILLS AND BEQUESTS.— The will of the very Rev W. D. Cony- beare, M. A., Dean of Llandaff, was sworn undt- r £ 4,000 person- alty; General Sir John Doveton, H. E. I. C., £ 35,000; Sir William G. Milman, Bart., £ 4,000; Lieut A. C. Collingwood Denny, R. N., of the " Canons," Mitcham, £ 25,000; Mr Charles W. Tryon, of Harrington, £ 30,000; Mr John Edwards, of Brampton Brian, £ 60,000. Mrs Catheriue Parr, of Liverpool, has left legacies to the follewing institutions of that town, viz:— The Northern Hos- pital, the Infirmary, and the Blue Coat School, £ 100 eaoh; and to the Deaf and Dumb aud Female Orphan Asylums, £ 50 each. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH W ESTERN RAILWAY.— On last Sunday evening a melancholy accident took place on the London and South Western line, betwe « ii the Waterloo station and the bridge which crosses the Westminster- road, by which an unfortunate man in the employ of the company was instan- taneously deprived of life. It appears, from all that can be gleaned, that a man named George Harder, a very sober and trustworthy servant, was in the act of Crossing tho line for the purpose of procuring from the pointsman's box a couple of lamps ; and, as he was stepping across the metals, a locomotive moved out from the station, and the buffers struck him on the chest, hurling him across the line, wht> n the ponderous engine passed over one of his arms, and over his head, crushing it in a fearful manner. He was picked up, but life was found to be quite extinct. The body was handed over to Mr Adamson, the coroner's officer, to await an inquest. DETERMINED ATTEMPTED SUICIDE FROM HUNGEEFOBD BBIDGE.— Last Sunday morning, shortly before one o'clock, con- siderable sensation was created at. Hun » rerford Bridge in conse- quence of a most determined attempted suicide of a young woman, named Catherine Manley, aged. 31, who resided at 13, New Church- street, Lambeth. It appealed that the unfortunate woman was observed by the police- constable, No. 68 F, to be loitering about Hungerford Market, ana at the hour stated she deliberately jumped from the bridge into the centre of the river. An alarm was immediately raised, when James Read, belonging to the barge Mercy, and Valentine Reatl, of the Betsy, jumped from their barges into the water, and succeeded iu rescuing her just as she was sinking. She was conveyed to Charing- cross Hospital in a state of insensibility, where Mr Bennett, house surgeon, used every means to restore animation for nearly an hour, and at length accomplished it. It is singular the parties who rescued her were two brothers. THE LATE FATAL FIGHT AT PAIIDINGTON.— On Monday tbe adjourned inquest upon the body of William Hodgkins, who was killed'in a pugilistic encounter on Wednesday week at Pad- dington, was resumed before Mr Waklev, coroner for the western division of Middlesex, at the Bank of England Tavern, near the Great Western Terminus, Paddington, when the following ad- ditional and very extraordinary evidence was brought forward :— After the names of the jury were, called over, and briefly ad- dressed by the coroner, Mr William SUaw, a builder, was called, and said the deceased had been some years iu his employ; he was a very excellent workman, and gimerally of sober habits. On Tuesday week he informed witness that he was going to have a " good natured fight" with Ground well on the following morn- ing, and requested witness to be present on the occasion. Wit- ness advised him not to engage in such a business, but he per- sisted in his determination to fight Groundwell. On tbe foil w- ing morning ( Wednesday) the fight took place. It was a fair, manly contest. After thirty- three rounds bad been fought the deceased came up as fresh, apparently, as in the first round, after which he fell, and was taken off tho ground insensible, and died within an hour afterwards at St Mary's Hospital.— By tbe coroner: It was a fair contest. I saw no foul play. I was informed that during the fight one of the seconds supplied the men with laudanum, but I did not see any bottle passed to either of them. Inspector Grant, of the D division, said that Groundwell had stated at the Marylt> bone police court, that during the fight laudanum had been tendered to him in a small bettle, which was labelled " Laudanum, poison," but that he refused to take any, Shaw was recalled, aud said that during tbe fight the deceased drank only one draught of brandy. In an- swer to a question from MrSwatton, tbe foreman of the jury, Shaw positively said that had a bottle coutaiuing laudanum been given to the deceased during the fight, he must have seen it. In answer to a question from the coroner, Inspector Grant said that at the police court Groundwell inquired whether, in post mortem examination of the deceased body, any laudanum had been de- tected ? Dr Herneys, professor of chemistry, said he had made au analysis of the contents of the deceased's stomach, and found the presence of opium, possibly half an ounce. This would cer- tainly not produce fatal consequences. The coroner here inquired of the brother of the deceased whether he was in the habit of taking laudanum or chewing opium, who replied in the negative. Inspector Grant said that the " second" who was seen to give laudanum to the deceased during the fight had absconded, and a warrant was out for his apprehension. There being no further evidence, the coroner summed up in a most able manner, earnestly calling the attention of the jury to the distinction of two men meeting on friendly terms to have a fair combat with fists— nature's weapons— and the man who would in a dastardly manner knife his adversary. The present case evinced our national courage; if it was different we should be put upon a footing with the miscreants now massacring all before them in the East. Verdict— Death by Misadventure. It is to be hoped the scoundrel who administered the opium will shortly be appre- hended, and meet with his desert. Such practices are totally at variance with fair play. At the Marvlebone police court on Saturday week, George Groundwell aud Henry Rubridge, a second in the fight, were both committed, on the charge of man- slaughter, for trial at the Central Criminal Court. SUICIDE OF MAJOB WARBURTON.— On Saturday week an in- quest was held at Frant, near Tunbridge Wells, on the body of Major G. D. Warburton, M. P. for Harwich, who committed suicide by shooting himself through the head the previous morn- ing. The deceased, who lived at Henley, it appeared was suffer- ing from a bilious attack, and his brother, who was on a visit, sent for a surgeon from Tunbridge Wells, who prescribed for him, and said he ought to be watched, but there was no suspi- cion that there was anything wrong as to his mind. About half- past eight o'clock his brother, the Rev T. A. Warburton, went to him and found him walking about his dressing- room, and after a slight conversation the deceased made an excuse that he wanted to go to the closet, and his brother left him, but had hardly reached the door of his own room when he heard the re- port of a pistol. He rushed back and found the deceased lying dead, with his skull dreadfully shattered. In answer to questions by the jury the Rev Mr Acton said, the previous evening deceased was very cheerful, and they had conversed on his happy position in this world, the great blessings he had, and his domestic hap- piness. His circumstances were extremely comfortable, and he was pleased with his short parliamentary career. He had a desire to get into Parliament unfettered as to party, and on a request from the electors he put up for Harwich, and was re- turned as an independent member by a large majority. Witness had never known anything wrong in bis mind. The surgeon who attended him was of opinion that the act was committed in a state of insanity, which might have been latent in his sys- tem, but which had been brought to a crisis by severe headache caused by bilious attacks, to which he was very subject. Ver- dict— Temporary Insanity. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.— The total number of deaths registered in London in the we k that ended Oct 24 is 988. A comparison of the real with the estimated result shows a difference in favour of last week to the extent of 114. Whilst tbe population of the metropolis lost 988 lives last week, the registration of births shows that 1,582 children were born; suffi- cient to supply the places of the dead, and to increase the num- ber of inhabitants by 594. The deaths of 476 males and 512 females were registered, 231 boys and girls died before completing their first year; at the other extreme of life 26 men and women died who were 80 years old and upwards. Two aged persons, both widows, one in Paddington, the other in St Luke's, attained the respective ages of 93 and 96 years. The deaths from diarrhoea which numbered 79 in the first week of October fell last week to 42, about the average of former years; of that number 27 occurred to children under five years of age. Six deaths from cholera and choleraic diarrhoea were registered last week. Last week the births of 814 boys, and 768 girls, in all 1,582 children, were regis- tered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1847- 56 the average number was 1,475. MELANCHOLY AND DETERMINED SUICIDE.— On Saturday week an inquest was held at the Golden Lion, Goodman's- yard, Minories, on the body of Mr Edward Uardiner Packer, aged 41, a plumber in the Minories, who commit ted suicide. It appeared that the deceased was discovered on Wednesday morning week hanging to the rail of his bedstead, by a piece of rope and a black silk neckerchief. An alarm was given by the female servant who made the discovery, and a gentleman, named Lee, a merchant in the City, who happened to be passing at the time, ran upstairs and cut the unfortunate man down. Mr Elice, the deceased's brother- in- law, said he ( deceased) had been in a low desponding way for some months, but witness was not aware of any particu- lar trouble that preyed upon his mind. He was not in embar- rassed circumstances. Some years back he bad met with a severe accident in falling from a ladder, by which his skull was fractured, also producing concussion of the brain. Mr Cook said that such an accident would tend to produce an aberration of intellect, and oause the unhappy man to commit the act of sracide. The coroner having summed up the evidence, the jury returned a verdict of Temporary Mental Derangement. ATTEMPT AT MURDEE, AND SUICIDE OF THE MADMAN.— A letter received frsm her Majesty's ship Brunswick, 80, screw, Captain Broadhead, dated Colon, Sept 20, says:—" Two days after we left Barbadoes, William Johnson, ship's cook, entered the engineer's store- room with a knife in his hand, and com- menced stabbing William Wood, a leading stoker, inflicting severe wounds in his throat, bands, and back; one thrust nearly entered the kidneys of the unfortunate man. Several en- deavoured to disarm the assassin, but he threatened to serve them the same, and the next moment cut his own throat so fearfully as to survive only fifteen minutes. The wretched man must evidently have laboured under temporary insanity, for Wood and Johnson were always known to be the best of friends, and more like brothers than anything else.' Wood used to write Johnson's letters to his wife for him. Johnson has left a wife and three children, and, by the last mail, the Victoria Cross for valour was sent out to be printed to him in the pre- sence of the officers and crew." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. CHARGE AGAINST THE MASTER OF A VESSEL.— On Monday Mr Johnstone Wm. Doyle, the master of the ship John Sayers surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment which charged him with a series of aggravated assaults upon Robert Eastwick, an apprentice on board the same vessel.— Mr Bodkin, in opening the case for the prosecution, said that theGovernment had felt it to be their duty to institute the present prosecution against the defendant, because from circumstances that had come to their knowledge through a very salutary provision in a statute that had been recently enacted, which required a record of all proceedings of au important character that took place during the voyage of a merchant vessel to be submitted to the inspec- tion of an officer appointed for the purpose, they had reason to believe that the boy Eastwick had been treated in a most cruel manner by the defendant, and that there were some grounds for supposing that he had at last actually committed suicide from the terror that had been created in bis mind, with a view to escape further cruelty.— Several witnesses were then examined on behalf of the prosecutors, two or three of whom were negroes, and one an Austrian seaman; and from their evidence it ap- peared that the John Sayers sailed from Hartlepool on a voyage to Ceylon in the month of May, 1856, and that tbe deceased, who was a lad 15 years old, was one of the apprentices, and acted as cabin- boy on board the vessel. According to the evidence of the witnesses, very soon after the vessel sailed the defendant as- saulted the lad several times with great violence, and also com- pelled him to walk about the deck at night with a heavy capstan bar in his hand carried as a gun, and deprived him by this means of his rest. It also appeared that 011 the 18th of August au alarm was given that the b > y Eastwick was overboard, and he was drowned, and his body was never recovered. This fact appearing in the log- book, coupled with the omission of any statement that means were taken to save the boy, it appeared had led to the present prosecution being instituted — These witnesses were sub- jected to a very searching cross- examination by Mr Sergeant Parry, and it appeared evident from the answers given by some of them that there was a good deal of ill- feeling against the de fendant on board this vessel; and it appeared that when she moored at Point deGalle complaints were made of their conduct, and one or two of them were imprisoned ; and they afterwards deserted from the John Sayers, one of them also admitting that he had deserted from another vessel called the Tamar. It also appeared that they had threatened that they would ruin the de- fendant, th* t there had been disputes between theui upon the subject of the wages due to them, and that the defendant was summoned before a magistrate. It was likewise admitted that at the time the poor lad fell overboard he was engaged in clean ing the cabin, and that he had to get water in a bucket from the side of the ship, and that he might bave fallen overboard by accident while BO engaged. It also appeared that the moment the alarm was given the ship was put about, and kept near the spot for more than au hour, and that the de- fendant had a life teuoy in his hand, but as tho body of the boy was never seen, it was of course useless to throw it into the water.— After an able address from Sergeant Parry the jury found the prisoner Guilty of a common assault, and he was sen- tenced to three mouths' imprisonment with hard labour. FORGED NOTES.— OU Thursday Mary Ann Jones, aged 28, was indicted for uttering a forged £ 5 note. The circumstances of this case were of rather an mutual character. It appeared that on the day named in the indictment a man named Thomas Grey, who is employed in the factory of Messrs Maudslay, iu the Westminster- road, was walking with two of his children ia that neighbourhood when he got into conversation with the prisoner, who represented herself to be a govern ss, and she made particu- lar inquiries of him as to the manner in which he brought up his children, and whether they said their prayers regularly. After they had conversed in this manner for some time, the prisoner stated that she wanted some cash, but she bad nothing about her but a £ 5 note, aud as she was a stranger in the neighbour- hood she could not get change for it, and she asked Grey to do so for her. He asked her if it was a good note, and she said that it was, and he took it to a public- house where he was known, and obtained change for the note iu question, which was a forged one, and handed it to the prisoner. It appeared that aft » r this the parties all went to the theatre, and remained together until twelve o'clock at night, and on the following morning the note was discovered to be a forgery. Search was then made for the prisoner, who turned out to be a prostitute living in Granby- street, Waterloo- road, and she was taken into custody in Webber- street shortly afterwards. She was told the charge sgainst her, and the auswer she gave was that the note had been given to her by " a gentleman," and that she was not aware that it was forged. The Lord Chief Baron gave his opinion ui> on these facts, and said, although there mitrht be some suspicious circumstances agaiust the prisoner, still, taking into consideration the facts that she had made no attempt to get away after she had obtained the possession of the money, and that there was nothing to show that her statement as to the manner in which she obtained the note in question was not a true one, he thought there was not sufficient to convict her. The jury therefore returned a verdict of Not Guilty. William Sullivan, 33, and John Bolyne, 28, were charged with a similar offence. The prisoners in this case went to the shop of Mr Cowland, a tailor, in St Martin's- lane, on the 13th of October, and Bolyne selected a coat and waistcoat, the value of which was £ 1 16s 6d, and they tendered in payment what appeared to be a £ 5 Bank of England note. Mr Cewland suspected the note was a bad one, and he said he must go out for change, when he proceeded to the shop of a neighbour and asked his opinion of the note, which concurred with his own, that it was a forgery. The prisoners appeared to have at once taken alarm and left the shop, but Sullivau was taken into custody while standing in a door- way a short distance from Mr Cowland's shop, apparently watching what was going on. The other prisoner was not taken into custody until a few days afterwards, and on being searched a betting- book was found upon him, and he was identified as having uttered two other ferged notes to different parties, giving a false address upon each occasion.— The jury found both pri- soners guilty, and Bolyne was sentenced to fifteen years' penal servitude, and Sullivan, who there was some ground for be- lieving had not before been engaged in such transactions, was ordered to be kept in penal servitude for four years. Susan Humby, 26, described as a widow, was charged with a like offence. In this case it appeared that a most ingenious proceeding had been resorted to in order to dispose of forged notes. The prisoner went to tbe shops of Mr Toby and Mr Lock, wholesale shoe manufacturers, where she purchased a quantity of shoes and boots, whish she directed to be sent to Cavendish- terrace, Wandsworth- road where she represented that she was about to set up in business, and where thegoods, the value of which in each case exceeded £ 10, were sent home, a forged note for £ 10 being sent back in payment. The prisoner by the same means also succeeded in passing a forged £ 5 note to Mr Brier, a haberdasher and hosier, in King William- street, and she also passed a fourth forged £ 5 note to the landlord of the Globe public- house, in Regent- street, Lambeth. It appeared in the course of the evidence that in both the cases, when the boots and shoes were obtained, a man was present at the house in Cavendish- terrace, and that he handed the forged notes. to the prisoner. On the third occasion also the prisoner told the porter who brought the goods that Mr Stevens, which was the name of their supposed purchaser, had given her the note to pay for them. In the case where the note was changed at the public- house it also appeared that she gave the address of her father, and she was in consequence easily discovered by the police. The father of the prisoner was put into tbe witness box by Mr Giffard, in order that the counsel fcr the prisoner might ask him any questions if he thought proper to do so , aud, iu answer to Mr Lilley, he stated that at the time these occurrences took place the prisoner was engaged to be married to a man named Stevens, and that this man was lost sight of directly theprisoner was taken into custody. He also stated that the prisoner had a very slight knowledge of reading and writing.— The Lord Chief Baron said he thought the jury would hardly convict a person in the position of the prisoner of so serious an offence when there were certainly some very strong grounds for coming to the con- clusion that she was the dupe of another person. There could be no doubt that there was a man concerned in the transaction, and he might have made use of the prisoner as a tool, and this suggestion was strengthened by the fact that when she changed the note at the public- house she gave the correct address of her father.— The jury said they concurred in the view of the case taken by his lordship, and therefore at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty.. THR MURDEE IN THE QUEEN'S BENCH PRISON.— Antonio de Salvi, 29, was placed at the bar to take his trial for the wilful murder of Robert Henderson Robertson. The prisoner was dressed in the garb of a convict, he having, as our readers are aware, been convicted prior to the death of the deceased of having wounded him with intent to do grievous bodily harm, and sentenced to fifteen years' penai servitude. He appeared very dejected and downcast during the trial, and seemed to have undergone a great deal of mental suffering. Mr Bodkin and Mr Clark conducted the prosecution ; MrE. James, Q C., and Sergeant Parry appeared specially with Mr M'Mahon on behalf of the prisoner. Before the trial commenced there was a long technical dis- cussion upon a plea of autrefois acquit, which was specially- pleaded by the prisoner at the last session, the ground for this plea being that, inasmuch as the prisoner was acquitted by the former jury upon that count of the indictment which charged him with the intent to murder the deceased, he ought not to be tried a second time for what, it was contended, was, in point of fact, the same offence. The discussion was not of any interest to the public, and on the result the judges, without hearing Mr Bodkin in reply on behalf of the Crown, decided unani- mously that the plea could not be sustained, aud that the trial must proceed. The evidence was then gone into, but as the circumstances under which the charge was preferred have been fully given upon so many previous occasions, it will not be necessary to repeat it.— Mr Robinson addressed the jury, and while he ad- mitted that there was no doubt that he had caused the death of the deceased, he urged that under the circumstances they would be justified in acquitting the prisoner of the crime of wilful murder, and saying that he was guilty of manslaughter only.— The jury concurred in this view of the case, and returned a ver- dict of Manslaughter.— Sentence was deferred. ACCIDENT TO " BIG BEN."— Our readers will hear with regret that au accident has occurred to " Big Ben," which has deprived him of that voice and tone to which they had already become familiar, and which it was hoped would be heard for many years from the lofty clock- tower of the New Palace at Westminster. For some time past it has been the custom to toll the bell a short time at one 0 clock on Saturdays. On Saturday week the pro- ceedings were commenced as usual, and after the hammer had struck the third time it was found that the sound was not the old familiar E natural, but a cracked and uncertain sound. The superintendent of the works immediately gave orders for the suspension of the performance, and a close examination of the bell took place. No flaw could, however, be discovered in the first instance. The search was renewed, and a lighted candle was taken inside the bell, and while being moved slowly round, the outside was carefully watched; at length, to the dismay of all the persons present, light shone through the thick metal, and there was no further room for doubt that the bell was cracked. The " crack" in the bell rises perpendicularly from the rim or lower lip, to about half- way up the side, aud it is directly oppo- site to the spot on which the beii was struck by the large ham- mer. For some time past grave doubts have been expressed as to the propriety of continuing the Saturday performances on the bell in the positiou in which it was hung. Situated at the foot of the clock- tower, and surrounded by a close hoarding, the friends of " Big Ben" complair. ed strongly of the unfair treat- ment to which he was subjected by being struck in a position where he had no room to develop bis power, and not a few have considered that he was not struck fairly by the blows of the huge square and clumsy hammer which fell upon his metal side. Whether it be true or not that " Big Ben" was hung unfairly, or struck unfairly, the fact unfortunately is that his voice is for ever silenced, and not until he has been broken up, agaisi melted and cast, may we expect t ® hear " his once familiar voice." RESCUE OF Two SAILORS.— On Wednesday morniag, about eight o'clock, as tbe Friendship, of Bridgwater, wss on her voyage to Newport, the captain ( Jones) descried at a distance something in the water, and on nearing it discovered that it was a raft with two men oa it. They were in tke most pitiable con- dition— wet, cold, and hungry ; and in consequent they were taken up, by Captain Jones, when they stated that they belonged to the Richmond, of Boston ( United States), which, they bad de- serted in the N. W. Pitts, in 4be Bristol Channel. It appeared that they had disagreed with the remainder of the crew, and had determined io leave the Tassel at tbe risk of their lives, for which purpose oa the previous uight they constructed a raft of the ship's ladder, a piece of deal, and a spar, which, with their clothes in two bundles, they lowered into the water at eleven o'clock at nigkt, and, descending themselves, set the raft adrift on Btrange waters, at imminent peril to thair lives, They had been floating about, backwards aud forwards with the tide, about nine hours, when they were first observed by Captain Jones, and had they not received his timely aid, they must evi- dently have been drowned, as tbe bags had become wet and were gradually sinking the raft. One of the men was an American, and the other a Belgian. They were taken to Newport. MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.— Among the recent addi- tions to this popular place of instruction and amusement are figures of the Emperor and Empress of Austria. These beautiful specimens of wax modelling, represented in dress costume, that of the Emperor being a military dress, ornamented with nume- rous orders of distinction, and the Empress in an elegant court dress, adorned with brilliant jewels. MICHAELMAS TERM.— The Lord Chancellor will receive the judges, & c, to breakfast on Monday, when the courts of law and equity will resume business. At present the judge for the New Court of Probate has not been announced. The act eannot take © fleet before tbe 1st oi January, 89 BELL'S LIFE IN LONDON, OCTOBER 25, 1857. SPO& TING CHRONICLE. [ TOWN EDITION.] THE TURF. Worses marked * are in the Derby, t in the Oaks, % ia the Leger ITEWMABKET HOUGHTON MEETING. It has seldom ' alien to our lot to record a more successful finale to the season at " head quarters," nor during the present generation do we expect to witness a recurrence of the extraor- inary incidents wherewith the journey to Newmarket was sig- alised. The devastation committed throughout the country by the storm of the previous week must by this time be well known, tout judging from the accounts that have reached us, in no part of Englaid have the waters caused more damage or greater stag- nation to traffic than in Essex, through which low flat country the direct railway communication to Newmarket proceeds. We briefly stated in our last that the traffic on the Eastern Oounties line had been suspended through the destruction of two toridge3 situate between Broxbaurne and Roydon, but even the announcement of that catastrophe quite unprepared us for the extraordinary scene which the country right and left of the line for nearly thirty miles from London presented. It was one - vast aea, and so entirely was communication cut off from houses and villages in certain parts that it was only by boats that the inhabitants wereenabled to " getabout." TheLsa marshes, from the number of boats brought into use upon them, were like a fishing station. As the disasters caused to human life aud cattle, and the frightful destruction of property will be d-.- tailed else- where, we must confine our attention to the arrangements made by the Eastern Counties Company for the conveyance of visitors and horses to Newmarket, aud the vicissitudes which all under- went prior to reaching their destination. A temporary platform over the ruined bridge at Roydon was erected ia the course of Saturday, across which passengers were enabled to procted from train to a second, which was in waiting at tho other side of tha debris, but the " promenade" was anything but safe even iu the day time, and when we state that in- stead of being lighted up at dusk, so as to afford some sort of security, passengers had to grope their way along the line through the dajkness, with the waters literally roaring on either side of them, the horrors of the scene may be more easily imagined than described. Those who left town by the rive o'clock train on Saturday evening were loud in their coin- plaiuts of the dangers they uudervvent through the neglect of the Company in not providing illumination in the shape of torches or watch fires along the distance ( at least 509 yards) they had to walk from one traiu to the other, whilst the vicissitudes endured by the ladies ware represented to us as painfully exciting. The transmission of luggage under such circumstances was of course no easy task, and what with one delay aud another the journey occupied upwards of an hour more than the usual time. The traffic on the main line to Cambridge was confined to passenger trains only, and horses and goods were sent round by way of Col- chester, Ipswich, and Bury St Edmunds, a circuit of nearly sixty miles. It was fortunate the Company had this route to resort to, and although despatch is one of the chief characteristics of xacing men, the travellers by the " special" on Sunday afternoon " bore their troubles" without grumbling when informed at Shoreditch they would be sent by that roundabout way, and only expressed disappointment at being unable to witness the devas- tations referred to. A pretty fair idea, however, could be formed Jrom the sceue presented betwern Mile- end and Stratford be- fore branching off to the Colchester line, a parallel to which had not been witnessed for nearly half a century. Except that it occupied au hour longer than the usual period, the journey was performed in the most satisfactory manner, and Newmarket was reached shortly after five o'clock. In the conveyance of horses, however, similar despatch was by no means adopted, and own- ers and trainers complained bitterly of the delays at Bury aud other places— with what reason our readers may be able to judge when vre state that John Day's horses, which left Loudon at three o'clock on Saturday afternoon, did not reach their desti- nation until past one o'clock the next morning, whilst William Day's, Young Ki: g's, aud other lots were on the road from Shoreditch from seven o'clock in the morniuK until fiveo'clock on Sundav afternoon! Several of the Ilsley trainers patronised the Great Northern line via Hitchin and Royston to Cambridge, whence they wt> re forwarded, together with the North- couutry horses that had arrived there from Peterborough, by a special traiu to Newmarket. Amongst the number was El Hakim, who although reported to have left Newmarket after the Cesarewitch for Hambleton, to " try" Artillery, en route to Kelso, had been doing his work upon York race- course in the interval, away from " touts" and all other inquisitive gentry. Had the G • eat Northern Compauy been alive to their own interests and taken advantage of the breaking up of the rival line, they would have run special trains to Cambridge, and thereby have se- cured if not the whole at least the greater portion of the racing traffic. In consequence of there being only a single line of rail* between Newmarket and Bury ( fourteen miles) some idea may be formed of the difficulty of working tho traffic with safety when it is known that all the goods aud cattle trains from the northern division of the county of Norfolk had to be sent round from Cambridge to Bury, via Newmarket, through which station, in the course of Friday and Saturday, upwards of twenty heavy cattle trains passed without the slightest accident— all this, too, occurring on the eve of the most crowded race meeting of the year ! We must now retrace our steps a little to record the changes in the Cambridgeshire betting in town on Saturday, when the Subscription Room at " the Corner" was better attended than usual. There was not much doing, however, and the variations in the prices, compared with those of the pre- vious Thursday, were chiefly the result of some heavy operations In the City during th - morning, 7 to 1 was the highest offer on the field, and Moestissima had the decided call of El Hakim ; but neither was in particular demand, the two animals in most force being Prioress and Tricolor, the former of whom was backed rather freely at 11 and 10 to 1, whilst the latter, who had been " knocked out" by offers to bet 1,000 to 10 agst her the day before, advanced to 14 to 1 ( takers) on the strength of having " cleaned out" the whole of the Woodyates lot in the interim! The French mare and Cyrene were backed at 100 to 6 each, 20 tol was taken about Fright, 33 to leach about Odd Trick and Moua Dobler, and 1,000 to 20 about Dusty Miller, late iu the evening there was a " move" at the City rendezvous about the American nags, which resulted in Prioress being sent back to 25 to l, and Babylon becoming as good if not a uetter favourite than his stable companion, but without the outlay of much money. Amongst tho voyageurs by the " special" from Shoreditch on Sunday afternoon this subject took precedence even of the " deluge," and all sorts of surmises were indulged iu, most credence attaching to the rumour that the marehad been worsted by the horse in a trial, whilst another report assorted tbat Prioress had pulled up lame the day pre- vious. That the whole affair, however, was nothing more thau a Turf " shave," was pretty evident from the eagerness with which the few bets that were offered against Prioress were snapped up in " well- informed quarters," which soon caused such a ra- actio: i iu her favour that during the short stoppage at the Harwich junction en route as little as 10 to 1 was taken about the mare, and 1,000 to 30 offered agst Babylon. As a sequel te the mystery it was hinted that a preconcerted " telegram" was forwarded from Newmarket to London on Saturday afternoon, containing advice to " lay against Prioress and back Babylon," aud to that the movement was attributed; for on reaching Newmarket we were credibly informed there was no real oause for alarm to the Yankee mare's backers, and amongst the select circle at the Subscription Boom in the even- ing she was quite as good a favourite as El Hakim. Owing to the immense number of horses on the spot, ex- pectations of a great meeting were universally indulged in, iind ia the course of the evening it was announced that no fewer than seven of the proposed engagements for the morrow had filled, albeit the entries, except for the Cambridgeshire " trial" " Plate, the entrance money to which amounted to £ 37 more than the Plate itself, were rather poor. The " scratched list" exhibited " the following as struck out:— Cambridgeshire: Mary, Imp6- rieuse. Rhis'us, Cruz& da, Eloquence, The Zouave, Pyrrhus the Second, Black Tommy, Wentworth, Bandalore, Tasmania, The Vigil, Lima, Aleppo, Brother to Bird on the Wing, Morgan Rattler, and King of the Forest. Criterion: Spero colt by Alarm out of Bribery, Killigrew, Cock- a- doodle- doo, Sillica, Amine, Azalia, Brother to Bird on the Wing, Bavaria, The Merry Sunshine, Eciipse, Gourd, Masaniello, The Friar, Fore- Tanner, York, Esau, Eurydice, and Brother to Pumicestone. MONDAY.— The cloudy appearance of the morning caused serious doubts as to the likelihood ef a fine week's weather, but all fears on the point were dispelled before noon, and a more delightful day than it turned out could not possibly have been " made to order." The atmosphere was surprisingly mild, and the suu's rays poured down with a degree of warmth that is not often experienced on the Heath at thi3 period of the year. The heavy rains which fell during the previous week made the ground a trifle soft, but with the " going" on the whole there was little to find fault— cortaiuly not to warrant an excuse being attributed thereto for the unsatisfactory running of any horse. The damaged line having been sufficiently repaired for passenger traffic the Londoners who delayed their departure until this morning were saved the annoyance of changing carriages en route or of being sent round via Colchester, but it was ex- tremely late ere they reached Newmarket, although as it turned out in plenty of time to take part in the " inauguration," which was fixed for twelve o'clock. If the attendance did not quite come up to the average the card was sufficiently attractive in all conscience with no fewer than ten races upon it, all of which were brought to issue exoept a match of no interest between Hummingbird and the Maid of Masham filly, wherein the latter received forfeit. The introductory item was a Selling Stakes on the Criterion Course the start for which was delayed nearly a quarter of an hour owing to Skycutter breaking away with Ohalloner and running the course through— her general custcvm. Peter Flat, who drew first blood last year, repeated the perform- ance to- day. The Handicap Plate turned out quite a little Cam- bridgeshire. Two and twenty runners were telegraphed of which number a couple only were backed, viz— Odd Trick and 3jeo, the former of whom, although giving a deal of weight to almost everything in the race, won in such hollow style that he immediately became a prominent favourite for the great event of the morrow, and was backed freely at 100 to 8— one bet of 1,000 to 100 being taken. Leo was placed hors de combat by an accident. The field for the Criterion was the largest ever known, and fell short of that for the Plate by a brace only ! Several were more or less fancied, and the honour of favouritism was awarded to iord Chesterfield's colt by Alarm out of Drumour's dam, with what pretensions his performance will best explain. The suc- cess of Happy Land was never doubtful, and the ease with which he wen, carrying 31b extra, stamps the lot as extremely mode- rate, or the winner ( who, by the bye, though comparatively an outsider, was a loser for the Ring) must have wonderfully im- proved since we last saw him run iu public. In the spring Happy Land ( carrying 5lb extra), The Farmer's Son, The Flying Duke,' and Leontes were " heads and tails," but to- day the win- ner on that occasion was the last of the four I Fordham had the good fortune to win the Criterion last year on Allspice. The remainder of the racing was upon the Flat, but was not of sufficient importance to call for lengthened remark, the event of most interest being the Match between Saunterer and Anton, Vaq betting upon which, however, was by no means so heavy as we have seen it upon what are termed " great" matches. Slight odds were at first laid on the " black ' un," but the confidence expressed by the Danebury btable, added to the spirit with which Anton was supported, gave the latter the call at starting. Owing to the delays at the post in the previous races nearly half an hour had been lost, and this was further in- ureased by the difficulty of getting Anton to start. For nearly a quarter of an hour he exhibited the most stubborn ob- stiaacv to face the flag, and neither coaxing or flogging had the slightest effect upon him. John Osborne all the while behaved in the most handsome manner, and instead of attempting to take advantage of his opponent's misbehaviour, assured Alfred Day that he would not go without him. At last, after the pa- tience of both jockeys and those who " lent a hand" was well- sigh exhausted, Mr Hibburd caught Anton with his head in the right direction and " nicking" him at the instant a very even start was accomplished. Instead of the " near thing ' the friends o? both horses expected it to be, the match turned out a Tery hollow affair and was over at the Bushes, soon after passing which Anton, who ran very unkind throughout, refused to make sn effort, aud cutting it altogether when Alfred Day ( who had " pinched" very severely to get down to the weight) called upon him in the eords Saunterer won as he liked. The proceedings terminated with a Two Year Old Selling Stakes on the first half of the Abingdon Mile, which pro- Polly Johnson, and resulted in favour of Tambourine by a neck — the last time Pinsticker met the winner she gave her 61b and beat her a long way! , , ,, , The Cambridgeshire betting in tho town after the races under- went several changes. El Hakim, who displaced Mcestissima from the " pride of place " she occupied at" the Corner" ou Saturday, was in great force at 8 to 1, whilst Prioress and Moestissima were evidently not in such good odour with the public as their own parties. The Ilsley mare was pronounced lame behind, and at first 12 to 1 was laid against her, but before tha Ring dis- persed there was a strong re- action, and after two or three hundred pounds had been laid against her being in the first MX, one of her chief supporters offered to take ten * monkeys or any part thereof that she " did the trick." Mdlle de Chan- tilly and Odd Trick were in strong demand, and there were a great many inquiries after Queen Bass and Artillery, the latter of whom, besides reported to have had a spiu with Skirmisner (!) was pronounced by the " touts" to go better than anything at Newmarket. Fright and Tricolour were firm, but Cyrene and Whistling Willie seemed very " fishy." 1,000 to 10 and 1,000 to 15 was several times booked about Saunterer. The Nursery closed this afternoon with an entry of eighty- eight two year olds, the greatest number ever known.

The start was delayed a quarter of an hour owing to Skycutter breaking away aud running the course through. One or two failures were afterwards caused by Delhi. When the flag fell Petor Fiat jumped off with the lead, followed by Noisette and Skycutter, Oltenitza lying next on the lower grouud to the cords, after entering which Noisette aiid Skycutter dropped off. The favourite theu took second place, and half- way up challenged Peter Fiat, but failed to reach him, and was beaten easilv by a length and a half, four lengths separating second and third, aud about a length tho third aud fourth.

Admiral of the White made play with a clear lead followed by Indulgence, Madame Rachel, Ruth, Sunrise, Renown, Weiham, Uzelia, the Elcot's dam colt, and Leo aimost in a line ; Odd Trick on the upper ground with Romeo at his side heading the ruck. Alter passing the Red Stand, Weiham and Leo ( who was rua into by some- thing behind, whereupon he crossed his legs and slightly injured one of them) dropped off and before reaching tha Duke's Stand, Indulgence, Madame Rachel, the Elcot's dam colt, Uzelia, Re- nown, and Sunrise were disposed of. Odd Trick then began to improve his position and at the cords joined Admiral of the White with whom he ran until within fifty yards of the chair, when he took the lead and won easily by a length, Admi- ral of the White, who swerved in the last few strides, finishing five lengths in advance of Ruth, three lengths from whom was Bracken. At a wide interval succeeded the Elcot's dam colt, Ronzi ( who got a very bad start), Weiham, Renown, Barfleur, Sunrise, and Romeo, who passed the post in the order named. Indulgence walked in. Before going to the post the Russian horse Vision bolted down the flat and gallopped as far as the Ditch stables before his jockey could stop him and did not get back in time to start.

Supple Jack, Harry Stanley, and Adeliz, showed in advance for the first two hundred yards when the running was taken up by The Happy Laiid, closely attended by Supple Jack, The Farmer's Son and Allspice in the middle of the course, with Excelsior, the Latitude colt, Grand Duchess and Leontes closely laid up in the lower ground, Harry Stanley and Flying Duke on the right. At the Duke's Stand, Grand Duchess, Supple Jack, and The Flying Duke, were in trouble, and before reaching the cords, Allspice and Excelsior were disposed of. The issue was then left to the three placed, but was all one way, The Happy Land, who cleared his opponents half- way up the cords, winning in gallant style by two lengths, a length and a half separating second and third. Supple Jack was fourth, about two lengths from Leontes, the Latitude colt fifth, as far from him, and at clear intervals followed Maid of Kent, Grand Duchess, Adeliz, Harry Stanley, and Allspice in the order named, the twe last being the Gala colt and Dumfries.

The latter, as usual, was very frac- tious, and by refusing to go to the post delayed the start fully a quarter of an hour; at length he was coaxed up to his opponent, and Mr Hibburd dropping his pole at the instant they got off abreast. Anton immediately went in advance, and cut out the work at a good steady pace, Saunterer lying two lengths behind until near the Bushes, when he drew up to his opponent's girths, aud in descending the hill got to his head. In the bottom Anton was in difficulty, and running out to the left as they entered the cords, Saunterer gradually drew away from him, and won " hands down" by three lengths. Run in 2tnin lOsec.

TUESDAY.— The Ring mustered early in front of the Rooms, and by noon the High- street was almost " blocked" with car. riages and pedestrians. Beyond a slight improvement in El Hakim, who during the morning had the decided call of Mces- tissima, there was little change in the prices of the favourites, and the chief feature for notice was the support awarded to Artillery, who, as soon as his starting was decided upon, ad- vanced to 100 to 6 ( takers). The Plush eolt also sprang several points upon the previous night's quotations, aud at the closa was backed at 1,000 to 30. If the numerical strength of the card did bot come up to that of yesterday, there was quite racing enough for the " Cambridgeshire day," for after the great events have been brought to issue on such ecc& sions, few care about the " little goes" put in to fill up the bill of fare. Tfte first race was set for one o'clock at " the top," long before which hour the move to the scene of action became general. The old " feather Plate," as usual, inaugurated the proceedings, and of the dozen entered— all two year olds— the only absentee was Night Ranger, John OJ> borne, " according to custom," finding the favourite in Anne Develiu. The " pot," however, boiled over, and the race, appropriately enough, was carried off by Beacon, whose success appeared to surprise nobody more than the Danebury stable, amongst whose ranks he had not a solitary supporter. We scarcely ever remember to have seen a lot of two year olds so tired at the finish, although at the same time there was less " tailing" than usual across the flat, and at the Bushes they were " all together." Tho Cambridgeshire next came upon the lapis, and by the hour— two o'clock— appointed for its decision, the course presented < ne of those extraordinary coup d'ceils, the cha- racteristic features of which photography can adequately repre- sent. It struck us that the attendance was scarcely so great as we have seen it on the Cambridgeshire Stakes day, but the falling off was chiefly amongst the lower orders, although at the same time a glance round the Ring exhibited short- comings amongst the ranks of the backers also, and we question if, on the whole, bookmakers can recall the period when there has been so little general betting. Amongst the " upper ten thousand," the increase of lady visitors was a perceptible feature, and the elegant equi- pages driven by Lady Emily Peel, Lady Pigot, Lady Keane, and others afforded a pleasing variety to the scene. The " lords of the creation" mustered very numerously, and we noticed a consider- able number of foreigners present, including several leading members of the French Jockey Club, namely, the Duke de Fit zjames, Count F, de La Grange, Viscount Lauriston, Monsieur R^ iset, and others who came over expressly to witness the per- forming of Mademoiselle de ChautiiJy in the great event, the field for which, by- the- bye, was by no means so large as ex- pected, although mustering one and thirty starters ! The want of a new telegraph at the Duke's Stand has long been required, but on this occasion a great desideratum was supplied by Mr Manning for the first time in the shape of a written list of the jockeys ; and it is to be hoped by next season this information will be supplied upon every race as at the Ring on the Flat. The market quotations here underwent several fluctuations at the last, but there could be no mistake as to which was first favourite— a point whereupon a great many bets depended. The French mare and Tricolor were in strong force, aud both gave Mcestissima the go- bye, although the latter left off very firm, as did Odd Trick and Artillery, whilst Whistling Willie, after all sorts of prices from 1,000 to 10 downwards had been laid against him within tho last four and twenty hours, returned to his old price of 20 to 1. Prioress had few sup- porters at last when it transpired that Mr Ten Broeck's own boy, who rode her in the Cesarewiteh, was " up," vice Fordham, claimed for Odd Trick. The jockeys reached the post long before the appointed time of the race, whioh was set for two o'clock, but the task of getting them away from it was quite another matter. Failure after failure occurred, and all Mr Hib- burd's efforts to get them into line proved unavailing, owing to the eagerness of many of the light weights and the fractiousuess of several of the competitors, two or three of whom " kicked up the devil's delight." El Hakim, Rosa Bonheur, the French mare, Queen Bess, and Fanny Gray broke away repeatedly, and the latter " lashed out " at everything that came within reach of her heels. One of these happened to be Tricolor, hitherto so fractious in public, but quiet as a lamb to- day, whom she caught with one plate in the chest and with the other upon the arm, the muscles of which were lacerated to the bone. The " crash" was described to us as awful, and William Day, who was close by, at first thought her leg was broken, so tremendous was the force of the blow. El Hakim likewise came in for a couple of " swingers," one of which caught him in the stomach and the other upon the near hock; whilst another favourite, Mdlle de Chantilly, was also " pitched into" by the gallant grey. These contretemps, added to innumerable false starts, caused a long and tedious delay, during which the excitement of the spectators rose td " fever heat," and it was not until twenty minutes to three o'clock that the lowering of the white flag denoted the commencement of the struggle, full details of which are giveH elsewhere as correctly as circumstances enabled us to collect them. The result soon became a matter of history. The immense bedy of horses presented a broad front which extended from the lower to the upper side of the course, and the nearer they approached the spectators the more voci- ferous became the impromptu descriptions of those who by the aid of glasses were enabb-' d to distinguish the changing phases of the race. The positions of the favourites were auxiously in- quired after, but El Hakim, Artillery, Tricolor, and Prioress were out of the fight before reaching tue Duke's Stand. At that point the front rank comprised Mdlle de Chantilly, with Sauu- terer at her quarters ou the lower ground, Bird in the Hand, Moestissima, and Odd Trick, each of whom looked sufficiently formidable to warrant the shouts raised in their behalf, the bookmakers iu particular regarding the fate of the two rank outsiders— Bird in the Hand aud the black horse— with no little interest. In a few strides further Bird in the Hand's flight was over, and the hopes of La Belle France being extinguished before reaching the cords, the issue was left to Odd Trick, Saunterer, and Moestissima, but was no longer doubtful, and Fordham, who had been " at" his horse some time previously, " sending him out," landed Odd Trick a gallant winner by two lengths, Moestissima beating Saunterer for the second money by a neck. Mr Parr received a stunning " ovation" upon the re- petition of his last year's triumph, and the compliments paid to his judgment- and skill were deservedly merited by the con- fidence he openly expressed iu the result even before the Plate yesterday, and for the condition iu whioh Odd Trick, who scarcely turned a hair, was brought to the post. Mr P.' s winnings are reported to be little short of £ 20,000, and his confidential com- missioner, and one or two others, including Mr Bates, throw iu for good siakes. Most of the gentlemen won upon the race— it was their tarn— and the result will of course make a considerable hole in the Doncaster and Cesarewitch winnings of the book- makers. Odd Trick was bred by Sir Tatton Sykes, and sold when a yearling for 60 guineas, to Mr Redhead, of Bolton, from whom he \ va3 purchased by Mr Bates last winter for £ 1,400. The latter sent him to Mr Parr, who gave £ 700 for the half of him, and in July last became" sole proprietor" by purchasing Mr Bates's remaining interest, Mr B. is a well- known bookmaker at Manchester, and his straightforward proceedings on the Turf led to warm congratulations from his brethren of the Ring upon his good fortune. Fordham's great luck in winning both the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire is most remarkable. Mcestissima ran pretty well for a " lame- un," it must be granted, and would have created sad havoc in the Ring if she had popped her head in first; nor could those who " potted" her have felt particularly comfortable during the race from the prominent position which she held throughout. Saun- terer's performance with Sst 121b on his back throws into the shade the great efforts of Sting, War Eagle, Faugh a Ballagh aud other heavily weighted three year olds that have run second for this race, carryiug respectively Sst, 8at 31b, 8st. The nearest approach to it Was when the Prussian " crack," Seahorse, carry- ing 8st 121b, at three years old, won the Houghton Handicap in 1352, beating Bphesus, at even weights 4c, & c. Tnat Saunterer is the best three year old ia England few will gainsay, we sus pect, after his Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire performances ; but instead of winning him a fortune, the " black- un" has proved an unlucky horse for his owner, Cyrene had a select party at Newmarket who werevery " sweet" upon her chance, and she did not disgrace them. The French mare ran fast for a long way, but tired to nothing at the finish, and of the other " strangers " neither Prioress aor Babylon ever showed in the race; nor did El Hakim and Queen Bess, who ran the dead heat with the Yankee in the Cesarewitch, grove so formidable as the front horses iu the " long race" have hitherto done. The chances of El Hakim and Tricolor were of course not improved by Fanny Gray's " polite attention" beforehand, and the Woodyeates stable was very confi- dent of repeating Sultan's triumph for the noble Steward. We cannot stop to discuss further the performances of the others— how Mons Dobler improved upon, and Fright retrograded fropa, their Cesarewitch running, and how Artillery and Whistling Willie ( as rogues invariably do in a crowd of horses, showed the white feather) will be found fully reported in our description of the race, the time of which, we had almost omitted to state, was six seconds slower and the field less by three runners than last year. The remainder of the racing, which took place on the Flat, does not call for lengthened dis- cussion, being noticeable only for the closeness oi' the contests, the defeat of every favourite ( upon whom the gentlemen must have dropped a good portion of their Cambridgeshire winnings), and the success of a French tw © year old called Chevrette, in the T. Y. C. Handicap, which proved an unexpected surprise to her owner, who did not back ker for a sovereign, albeit the winner — a quick one— was more or less fancied in several quarters. Count La Grange's colours are not unlikely to become still more popular and formidable on the English Turf next spring. If time was not so punctually kept as usual at " head quarters," every allowance may reasonably be made on a day like the present, and in concluding our introductory remarks it is satis- factory to state that not the slightest aceident ocourred to mar the proceedings.

The start, which took place precisely at twenty minutes to three o'clock, was pre- ceded by a great many failures, caused chiefly by tha eagerness of El Hakim, Whistling Willie, the Plush colt, Mademoiselle de Chantilly, Prioress and Babylon, and the fractiousness of Fanny Gray, for particulars of whose misbehaviour we must- refer to our introductory remarks. When the flag fell El Hakim and Tricolor jumped away in advance, followed by the Plush colt, Bird in the Hand, Whistling Willie, Artillery, Odd Trick, Queen Bess, and Peeping Tom, who lay up almost in a line on the right, whilst nearly level with them ou the lower ground were Mademoiselle de Chantilly, Moestissinaa, Kestrel, Dun- boyne, and Rosa Bouheur; behind them in the ruck followed Saunterer, Mons. Dobler, Cyrene, Bashi Bazouk, and Ba- bylon, aud in the rear came Prioress, Sydney and Fauay Gray. The front rank remained unbroken up to the weighing stand, after passing which the injury Tricolor received from being kicked beforehand, began to tell upon her, aud she dropped back into the ruck, the Plush colt also giving way soon afterwards. Mdlle de Chautilly then took up the running, and closely attended by El Hakim, Whistling Wiilie, Bird in the Hand, Kestrel, Odd Trick, Mcestissima, Cyrene, aud Artillery in a body, cairied it on to the Duke's Stand, where Artillery and Whistliug Willie ( who had previously begun to show signs of " cutting it," as the " clicking" commenced among the beaten lot behind them), shut up altogether when the crowd on each side of the course began to shout, and were not seen in the race afterwards. At this point Peeping Tom, Kestrel, Queen Bess, El Hakim, aud Mons. Dobler were disposed of, and Moes- tissima took her place at Mdlle de Chantilly's quarters, Saunterer, who pulled tremendously, at the same time going up on the lower side of Moestissima, Bird in the Hand still run- ning almost head aud head with the iatter on the right of the French mare, and slightly in advance of Mr Bowes's horse ; by himself near the upper rails was Odd Trick, who took his place in front the instant Fordham roused him at the top of the nill. The remainder of the race admits of little description. Bird in the Hand and Mdlle de Chantilly were beaten at the cords half- way up, where Odd Trick came out with a tremendous rush and won in a canter by two lengths, the weight telling upon Saunterer, who headed Moestissima about half a length until within a few strides of the chair; the latter then repassed the " black ' un," aud secured the second money by a neck, Cyrene, who was fourth, finishing three lengths behind the heavy weight about lialf a length before the French mare, who was fifth, Bird iu the Hand being sixth, scarcely as far from Mademoiselle. At a clear interval from them followed Tricolor, Mous. Dobler, Dunboyne, El Hakim, aud Prioress, who passed the post as nearly as possible in the order named, Lord Anglesey's mare, though early iu difficulty, having struggled on with suprising gameuess to the finish. The remainder were so very widely scattered that it would be useless to assign them positions, the two last in the race being Whistling Willie and Babylon. Run in2min lOsec.

P04 boiled over, and Lord Clifden ( whose two year olds are in great force at present) threw in with the Latitude colt, who arter a remarkably fine contest ( attesting the excellence of the handicapping) with Orchehill, Dumfries, and Lord Chesterfield's hlly secured Mr Clark's./ wM) y a neck. The light weight Match Between Heroine and Mainstay was next brought to issue, and rrom having beaten her opponent twice this season Mainstay was the favourite. The Danebury filly nevertheless had a staunch supporter in her owner, who took 3 to 1 about winning both her matches, and the ease which she accomplished the first stamps ner the Heroine par excellence of this course. The result of the remaining items would not materially affect the balance of the gentlemen and the fielders either way, and without entering lurtner into detail here, we take leave of this excellent after- noon s sport by drawing attention to the rising claims of little isennett, of whose abilities we have before had occasion to speak in favourable terms; and judging from the further specimen of ms talent, which he exhibited so successfully upon Topsy in the Subscription Plate this afternoon, it will be the boy's own fault if he does not attain high rank amongst the best lightweights of the day. Several horses were backed for the Nurseries on the Heath, but, owing to the secresy with which the operations were con- ducted m order that they might not come to the reporter's know- ledge for quotation, we are unable to enlighten our readers thereupon, nor would the details interest tbem much, seeing tnat the result will be known long before these pages are pub- lished. In the town after the races Swale ( in Tom Dawson's stable) came with a tremendous rush, and iu a very short time as little as 3 to 1 was taken about him, every offer being so eagerly snapped up that the layers at last cried " a go." Hay- maker and Botany had supporters at 8 and 9 to 1, and 10 to 1 each was taken about East Langton and Pampa. There was a great disposition to back Kelpie and Longrange for the Derby, and 25 to 1 would have been taken to money about either. Iu the evening Clydesdale was backed at 1,000 to 60, Ancient Briton and Vandyke at 1.000 to 35 each, audEclipse for several hundred pounds at 40 ta 1. There was a very thin attendance, and scarcely anything doing upon the Nurseries. The special meeting of the Jockey Club, advertied for to- day, was held after the races, whereat some important business re- lative to Turf Reform was transacted, for particulars ef which we must refer to the report of the proceedings elsewhere.'

The race admits of little description. The three " first were iu front throughout, the French mare, who took up the running after the first quarter of a mile, winning in a canter bv six lengths; a neck separated second and third, and half a length third and fourth. Kestrel was fifth, Bel Esperanza sixth, and Evelyn seventh, Eugenie and Salmon being the two next. Neville, who was very bumptious beforehand, and refused to run a yard in the race, cantered in a long way behind. Helen Ragan, whose trip to the Limekilns after her race at the last meeting may be. fresh in the recollection of our readers, ran away with Custauce after passing the post as far as the Cambridge road, where she turned down the Heath by the side of the trial grouud, and turned into the course again opposite the Ditch stables; all the jockey's efforts to stop her were unavailing, and after passing the win- ning chair a second time the fiery brute went over the same line of country again, when being fairly " pumped out" she stopped of her own accord.

The Ditch Mile Two Year Old Ha . ^ wb V the great Nursery " crack" Swale was expected - 1 out the largest field of the day, and a close st. .. fo. u. resulting in another victory for Lord Clifden .-, colours, upon Chanoinesse— a comparative outsider- attested the excellence of the handicapping. The Hor^ y filly, after serssal at- tempts, in nearly all of which she has run second, at last managed to win a race, and thereupon found a new owner who recorded her peculiarity by the appropriate name of Seeunda. Only three runners were at first telegraphed for the Glasgow X 7? s' , bettll)& uP° n Which opened at 2 to 1 and 5 to 2 on tae Cymba colt, but upon the addition of Windham's number those odds were reduced to 7 to 4, and 5 to 2 was tp' £> i rather rreeiy about Lord John Scott's nomination, who wa„ ridden in winkers. Close as most of the racing had hitherto been it was altogether eclipsed by the exciting struggle for this event, the - <$ 4lt of which, until the fiat of a dead heat between ^" uidham am Oourd was made known by the hoistiug of their num- bers at the chair, it was impossible for any one but the man in the box" to determine, and many even ia the vipmity of tne winning post imagined it to be a dead heat WKh all four, the favourite and the Sneer colt, as i*-- was, being only baaten a head each from the other two. They only ran a quarter of a mile, but in the deciding heat, which came off immediately after the Plate, the pace was a " crr^' cr," and Lord Londesborough's colt won cleverly. The Free Handi- cap of 100 sovs each, for three year olds, Across the Flat, brought out half- a- dozen of the eleven acceptances, and was won very easily by Commotion ; the Subscription Plate, Ditch- in, fell to the lot of Romeo, after a slashing set- to with Bracken, upon whom it looked any odds until he cut it near home : and the sports terminated with an amateur Match, on the last half of thfc Abingdon Mile, which, after a remarkably well- ridden contest, was won out of the fife by Captain Little on Ra- dulnhus, the old horse just managing to upset the " pot" to- uay as he spoilt the " good thing " with the Lady A. at the last meeting. It was nearly five o clock when the racing ter- minated, by which time the " silvery moon" was high in the heavens, and twilight rapidly advancing. The early part of the day was remarkably fine, but the wind chopped round to the east during the afternoon, aud the atmosphere became so many degrees colder that top coats which in the morning would have been unbearable, proved comforting acquisi- tions to those who had the forethought to provide themselves accordingly. The Nursery betting was entirely confined to the " first cU » s," and although Swala's starting had been reported as doubtful, owing to the stable being forestalled, the horse gra- dually increased in favour until 6 to 4 was the highest offer against him. Before dinner Botany and Haymaker were in some request at 6 to 1 each, but two points more were obtainable at night, when 100 to 15 was taken about Pampa, 12 to 1 about East Langton, 100 to 7 about Orchehiil, and 20 to 1 each about Wrestler and Chanoinesse. Though not a p. p. race, those terms were generally made conditional by the layers. The " second class" was a " dead letter." Mr Padwick was elected a member of the committee of the Subscription Room in the place of Mr Jaques, who retires by rotation.

Gourd, on the whip hand, showed in advance for about two hundred yards, when Windham, who ran on the far- side, took a lead of nearly a length and a half, which he held past the Bushes, when the pace, which had been wretched, became a " rattler." In the dip the lot closed and made one of the finest finishes ever seen, result- ing in a dead heat between Gourd and Windham, whilst a head each only separated the other two.

Anton, as usual, was very fractious, but the start was not much delayed, and all got off upon good terms. St Giles made play about a length in advance, followed by Lord Nelson and Commo- tion, Anton lying fourth, and the other two at his quarters. They ran thus into the Abingdon mile bottom, when Commotion joined St Giles and ran with him until half- way up the hill, when Aldcroft finding Lord Nelson unable to carry out Mr Barber's declaration, called upon Commotion, and landed him the winner by a length ; St Giles beating Lord Nelson by a head.

FRIDAY.— The change in the wind brought a disagreeable change in the weather, which in the early part of the morning was very stormy, but fortuuately for the enjoyment of the best day's racing ever seen at Newmarket it cleared off before start- ing for the Heath, and the afternoon turned out as fine as any of the preceding days, albeit the running ground, as may be imagined, was rather heavy. Neither time nor space will per- mit of our entering into a review of the racing, which was remarkable for some very fine contests, especially for the Nur- sery, both " classes" of which, it will be gathered from the description below, fully maintained the prestige for which the event has so long been celebrated. As usual, there was " no eud" of " pots j" but the chief one— upon Swale— which paralysed the betting on the First Class, " boiled over," and the Duke of Bedford was " within an ace" of car- rying off both, lesing the Second with Pavilion by a head, and winning the First Class with Pampa, who for a short period immediately after the decision of the second class became as good a favourite as the Middleham nag, thereby af- fording excellent hedging to those who backed her at long odds previously. At the close, however, the north country horse had the call. The Ring was " hit" upon both races, the winner ef the second class— nicknamed tho " lucky robber"— who comes from Rockley, having been backed for as much as anything. We must now proceed to details of the sport, which commenced at the rather early hour of a quarter to eleven, and did not ter- minate until half- past four, during which time no fewer than fourteen races were brought to issue.

They ran in a body to the top of the hill, when Pampa went to the front, and taking a lead of about a length, cut out the work at a good steady pace, followed by the ruck almost level, the most pro- minent in advance being Ann Develin, Botany, Wrestler, the Elspeth colt, Swale, and Tunstail Maid, into the dip, where Joe Rogers took a pull, and indulged Ann Develin with a slight lead, until half- way in the cords, where Pampa came out and won very cleverly by a length. The struggle between the next half- dozen was remarkably close, Ann Develin having an advantage of a head over the Elspeth colt, who beat Wrestler by the same, Botany, Swale, and Tunstall Maid being together next, about half a length off, so close together, that we cannot attempt to say which was fifth. The last three were East Langton, Flying Duke, and Azalia. Run in lmin 54sec. MATCH, 50, h ft; Y. C. ( 2fur 52yds). t Lord Chesterfield's La Fille da Regiment, by Or- lando, 2 yrs, Sst Sib ..

The attendance was nevertheless good, and the racing, though extending to only two eveuts, affording ample amusement. The Fley Stakes was contested by five horses, and ended in a " dead heat " between Yeutick and the filly by Simoom out of Teresa, by Langar, who will see a better day. Some compromise afterwards took place, and the filly walked over. The Hurdle Race was contested with great severity, and ended in the success of the non- favourite, Lucy Neale, the race being protracted to three heats. The Marquis of Downsbire was unavoidably absent, his regiment, the South Downs, being on the march for the camp at the Curragh. The following is a return :— The FLEY HANDICAP of 2 sovs each, with 20 added; Kilwarlow Course ( three quarters of a mile); 5 subs.

The Baroness was a bad third, and the others beaten off.

The course of events « nce more brings to notice the time- honoured meeting at this " pink" of retreats on Cambria's shores, where, during the past week, hunting, racing, balls, ban- quets, and boozing have in turn received that amouut of atten- tion for which, we believe, the Principality is without parallel. Annually re- uniting the elite of the Cardigan and Pembroke counties, as well as affording opportunities for cordial welcomes and munificent hospitality, the return of the holiday is no less hailed by the rustic damsels of the district, whose rosy faces, surmounted by towering chapeaus, if not tempting greater fami- liarity, might suggest affectionate inquiries for the patronymic of the hatter. As relates to the racing, it is scarcely necessary to remind parties that for many seasons here small fields have been the rule and not the exception; consequently we were somewhat taken aback on this occasion by the introduction of a proviso requiring four horses to show for each event, whether over the flat or iu the open. It was an error which doubtless has corrected itself, inasmuch as the principal chase wont to the wall through its instrumentality, the fallacy of which was further illustrated by the " make- up" for another affair we have particularised in the usual place. But not to travel from the order of things, the customary touting bout inaugurated the proceedings on Monday last, when the " scarlets" mustered strongly at Froesrhydygaled, the admired seat of J. Davies, Esq, who entertained his friends and neighbours with a sumptuous breakfast, to which additional zest was imparted in the pro- verbial kindness aud courtesy of the universally esteemed entertainer aud Mrs Davies. The repast ended, they trotted off to cover, and found immediately, but the fax taking to some daugerous sea cliffs, the hounds were whipped off. The check was soon forgotten by another find iu Fynnon Caradog Wood, from whence, after a clipping run of two hours and a half, ai^ old dog fox was run into handsomely near Cwm House, the residence of M. Williams, Esq, where the fielders luuohed. Matters rul ; d excessively dull in the town after nightfall. Of six acceptances for the Open Chase Decep- tion, Arthur, and Carew had alone arrived, Harltquiu having dropped lame a few days previously. Break o' Day Hoy was also reported amiss, whilst The Old Screw was not yet forthcoming from the sister kingdom. Under these circumstances the stewards might have rescinded the rule above referred to, but the final application to that effect receiving a decided negative, the race was declared off, save a walk over for tke forfeits, much to the disappointment of tho southern gentlemen, whose horses had travelled far in expectation of finding the full complement on the spot. This necessitated the transfer of the Gogerddan Chase from Thursday to the openiug day, which turned out HO less glorious in point of weather than for freshness, balmy and clear. Pedestrians showed above the usual numerical mark, and the fashionables will be found iu the appended general list ef visitors. The sports began with a flat handicap of the old- fashioned sort, commencing at list and ending at 9st 9lb. It was won easily in three heats by Picco, about whom there seemed to hang a mystery, through the statement that he was purchased about five weeks ago by his present owner, who, as yet, has been unable to trace his pedigree. Be this as it may, we can give the quietus to an unfounded rumour by affirming that rio protest was made against the horse either at the time of entry or at the scale. It will be seen that an unlucky " cannon" in the race rendered Sweetbriar ( a speedy three year old daughter of Peppermint) useless, it is feared, for other than breeding purposes. The cross country business that followed was, perhaps, the slowest on record, though, Fate knows, nobody expects animals to fly over this heav. y banked line. At the ordinary in the evening, at the Bellevue Hotel, presided over by the stewards, speeches were made of the usual com plioieutary kind: the health of the obliging secretary ( Mr Davies) was received with marked appro- bation ; and W. Chambers, Esq, of Haford, accepted the Stewardship of ' 58. An hour's stroll oa Wednesday, beneath a bright aad bracing atmosphere, brought us to the picturesquely situated mansion of Colonel Powell, at Nauteos, sheltered by wooded eminences in the rear, and approached through undu- lating vales and magnificent chains of mountains, a broken link iu which at one point disclosed a long misty line— the ocean. The staunch Gogerddan pack, with its gallant master, Captain l'ryse, and nicely mounted whips, were in waiting on the lawn, whilst inside the mansion ample justice was being done to a profusion of viands and recherche accompaniments, the gallant colonel evincing, in person, the greatest anxiety for the comfort and due provision of his numerous guests. A gay assembly of ladies also honoured the invitation, ma- y of whom, attired f or the chase, were subsequently viewed ascending and descending the hill passes with the ease and grace of accomplished devotees to Diana. Drew the covers immediately in front of the house, and iu a few seconds " sweet music" burst upon the ear from the willow beds, quitting which for the woods on the left the varmint got to earth after a short run. " No end of country" was next traversed, until at length a " phizzer" broke away from the plantations near theAbermade Farm, led them a merry dauce over three hours, and, eventually taking for the Nanteos covers, was left there to renew the game on a future day. The ball at the assembly rooms at nigfet was one of the most brilliant affairs ever known in these parts. The remainder of the fes- tivities, comprising sport ou Thursday— how tho racing forces, at its conclusion, joined the mess of the Royal Cardigan Rifles— and how the latter returned the compliment at the Gogerddan Hotel after a day's huuting on Friday, must speak for itself, the iin mease distance from the metropolis, and the absence of rail- way facilities for nearly a hundred miles, condensing the re- mainder of the story to a telegraph despatch oniy for our early edition. The visitors included Lord and Lady Vaughan, the Hon Captain Vaughan, Sir Godfrey and Lady Thomas, Captain Pryse, M. P., Colonel Powell, Colonel Corbett, Major Rice, Captains Miller, R.

In this order they proceeded until about half a mile fr home, when old Sweetbriar dropped off, the young ' un took place, waited upou Picco to the last turn, and then drawing aw won in a canter by three lengths ; same between second third ; the others not near.— Second heat: Picco, with the well laid up, led thma " duster" for the first half- mile, when" V Buck showed in advance, but after entering the turnip piece at top of the course the gelding resumed the command, MrPow horse lying second, the others directly in his wake.

He w however, quickly righted and on again, but the chance of Swt briar ( having broken down badly iii the near fore- fetlock joi was hopelessly gone. Thence Wild Buck ran on sufferance the shoulders of Picco, whose rider quietly looked on and i without an effort by a neck. Sweetbriar walked in, her joc insisting that the collision was anything but accidental, wl was as stoutly denied in the other quarter.

The other, however, as reached his opponent about half way along the far plouu ground, resumed the premiership, improved the pace, ; looking all over the winner, led by eight or ten lengths to posts and rails ( half a mile from home) he refused in the : round. These, most provokingly, he again declined, and " persuasion" being equally disregarded, Mr Phillips at sent him at the timber, which the horse this time sniverec fragments, and Arthur was once more in pursuit.

SlE: The serious demands on your space during the Houghton week render it absolutely impossible for me to do that justice to the details of the great meeting, not yet brought to a conclusion, which it justly deserves ; and it will suffice, I imagine, for the present to observe that the most signal contradiction has been afforded to those croakers who persist in maintaiaiiig that " The Turf is on the decline," for never since the earliest records of Newmarket, when princes of the blood raced side by side with the Graf tons, Cavendishes, and Grosvenors have such a collection of horses been seen on the Heath, or such splendid and unalloyed sport been afforded to the racing community. Worcester is the only fixtu? fe of consequence for the ensuing week, although there is a kind of " bye day" at Wenlsck ou Friday, which will perhaps detain the professionals in the pro- vinces, as Mr. Frail's gatherings are sometimes celebrated for the " turns" they afford to the fielders. Worcester itself has always been as " faithful" to the Turf as to the " Merry Monarch," and by Mr Webb, the honorary clerk of the course, everything that experience and liberality can suggest has been employed to " make things pleasant" to all comers, and the entries testify that Pitchcroft has not been forgotten by owners and trainers. Like most Autumn programme* steeple chasing and hurdle racing are to be . found incorporated here, but as cross country events are beyond my jurisdiction, I shall only briefly notice the two items, viz, the Autumn Handicap and Flying Stakes, which are the most certain to engage the attention of your readers. The Autumn Handicap has a score of accepta ices, but there is not so much " quality " about them as in former years. El- frida an ' Apathy head the list, and Kenerdy and Weatherglass close it, and as I observed on a former occasion, this appears to be an instance when the old proverb of the " last being first" will be again realised, I shall expect to And the winner in the two light weights. The Flying Handicap has twenty- seven animals weighted for it; but as no time for acceptance is specified in the conditions, I shall only remark that Lord Nelson, Madame Clicquot, and Raven appear as " well in " as any thing.— Yours, & c, Newmarket, Oct 30th.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at Newmarket on Wednesday last— present, Lord Anglesey, Lord Wm. Powlett, the Duke of Beaufort ( Stewards); Mr Barne, Mr JGfatson, Lord Clifden, Mr W. S. Crawfurd, Lord Chesterfield, Lord Derby, Lord Exeter, Mr Etwall, Lord Glasgow, Mr Lowther, Mr Payne, Gen Peel, Lord Portsmouth, Admiral Rous, Lord Wilton. Lord Derby moved the resolution of which ho had given notice, " That all bets on handicaps made previous to the publication of the weights be declared null aui void," but afterwards with- drew it in favour of an amendment moved by Gen Peel, which was put as an original motion, namely, " That the Jocksy Club, highly disapproving the practice of betting on handicaps pre- vious to the declaration of the weights, recommend to the com- mittee of Tattersall's not to recognise any bets so made, or inflict any punishment for the non- payisent of them." Lord Anglesey moved, as an amendment, that " So long as the rule passed in 1842 is allowed to remain, the Jockey Club is not in a position to interfere with betting at all." The amendment was negatived, and Gen Peel's resolution carried by a majority of 14 to 2. Lord Glasgow then moved the following resolution, which was seconded by Gen Peel:—" It being notorious that the present system of play or pay betting gives facility and inducement to the commission of fraudulent practices, greatly injurious to the characterand the interests of the Turf, and that such practices are yearly on the increase, the Jockey Club recommend that hereafter uo bets oa horse racing shall be considered play or pay; and that the club will in future decline to warn off the ground at Newmarket, or otherwise treat as defaulters, any per- sons who may be brought before them for refusing to pay bets lost on horses which have not started. As, however, many en- gagements have already been made on certain races for next year, the above resolution shall not affect bets made outhe Derby and Oaks at Epsom, or the St Leger at Doncaster, to be run for in 1858. With respect to all other races, it shall come into operation at the expiration of the Houghton Meeting iu the present year." After some discussion a division took place, and the numbers were— for Lord Glasgow's resolution, 6; against it, 11. An alteration was made in the latter part of Rule 17, on the subject of nominations, which was ordered to stand as follows :— " If a horse has once been entered with his nama and pedigree in a race published iu the jlacing Calendar, it will be sufficient afterwards to Hiention him by his name only, even though he has never started; and in entering a horse for the first time by his name in several races closing at the same time, it will be sufficient to give his pedigree in the first of these nominations, and his name only in the others." The following resolution, of which Mr Greville had given notice, was unanimously adopted:—" Complaintshaving been made by owners and trainers of race horses, that boys are fre- quently in the habit of deserting their service, without any sufficient cause, aud of procuring employment with other trainers, who take such boys into their service against the con- sent and wishes of their former masters, and contrary to the long- established rules and practice of the Turf— and the notice published by order of the Stewards of the Jockey Club, on the 12th June, 1849, for the purpose of correcting this evil, having been found inefficient for that purpose— " It is resolved— that whenever any trainer shall take a boy who has run away from auother stable, without the consent of the last employer of such boy, and who, after due warning having been published iu the Racing Calendar, shall continue to retain such boy in his service, shall not be allowed to train or run horses at Newmarket, or at any other place where the rules of the Jockey Club are iu force." A le'ter to the corporation of Doncaster on the subject of the disturbances at the last races there, was read and agreed to. It suggested the issue of daily as well as weekly tickets to the Grand Stand, and the construction of a new entrance gate iuto the inclosure. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THEIR ENGAGEMENTS.

Our readers will recollect that an influential committee of noblemen and gentlemen associated themselves together towards the end of last season for the purpose of receiving guinea sub- scriptions from the multitude of admirers of Mr C. Davis of this hunt, and that our advertising columns at the close of the season showed a goodly array of contributions. The committee met at Dr Collins's on Tuesday last, wheait was resolved that the list should not be closed until the end of this year. We are glad to see the same five nobleiren ( with the addition of Lord Cranstoun) and seven gentlemen still form the committee, with Mr Fores of Piccadilly, treasurer; and Mr Bowen May of Bolton House, Russell- square, honorary secretary. THE SOUTH ESSEX HOUNDS, ME EDITOB : These hounds opened their tenth season very brilliantly on Tuesday, 27th inst. It is, as you are uo doubt aware, a farmers' subscription pack of foxhounds, hunted by a very genuine specimen of the farmer and gentleman, old Abra- ham Cawston, who got them together for his friends and neigh- bours about ten years ago: has them as perfect as any genuine sportsman could desire, whether working with a cold sceut or racing with it breast high ; and has during that period endeared himself to his regular field, as much by his openhearted, cordial, hospitable manners, as by his earnestness and perseverance as a huntsman. Indeed, looking at the character of our country, at the fact that we have but a limited fund for him to spend ( al- though the farmers subscribe most liberally, and are staunch fox preservers), yet the number of foxes he accounts for, and food runs he gives us in the course of the season, prove him to e as good a gentleman huntsman as any in the three kingdoms. When I say old, you must understand that although as to years on the wrong side of three score, he is always to be seen in the right place when wanted. His hounds fly to him like lightning, he has them beautifully in hand, aud it is a real pleasure to hear his clear harmonious " Holloa" and " Tally- ho!" Ou Tuesday we met at the Crown Inn, Langdon Hill, the key of our country, and about fifty sat down to a capital spread. We began to draw at twelve o'clock, and almost immediately found in Listz Wood, but scent not serving, after ringing round the covers two or three times, we lost him. After drawing two or three other covers the wind changed from south- east to east, aud we found a gallant fox in Marten Hole. He was soon pushed out, went away at a rare pace over Oxberry Bush Farm, appa- rently pointing for Vange. On being headed by some foot people he turned to the left through Ropers Shaws, which, how- ever, scarcely held him a minute. He then raced away as if THE CHASE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. STAGHOTTHDB.

In leaving the cover the hounds viewed him, and pressed him so hard that he headed back, but the hounds, cheered on by friend Cawston's ringing halloos, soon pressed him out at the top end of the cover: being nearly beat he made for Park Hill Wood, but the pack did not leave him time to dwell; he was obliged to bolt, crossed the road, on through Mr Lowdes's and a string of small coverts to Bladons, and then to Lord Petre's cover, to Ingrave Hail Wood, where, after running him hard round three or four times, they ran into him, when " whoo- whoop" fell gladly upon the ears of a good many, whose horses were throughly beaten by this long and sharp run on a very warm day. Time, one hour and thirty- eight minutes; distance, from point to point, ten miles. During the short checks the hounds, which worked as steadily as they raced, never ceased hunting, so we were alive the whole time. This auspicious com- mencement of the season is only a continuation of the capital sport during the last days of cub hunting. For instance, on Tues- day, 13th, they drew some reeds near Pitsea; found a brace of foxes, settled to a cub, and after a smart burst of thirty- five minutes across the marshes to the uplands above Pitsea, pulled him down in the often. We then went back to the reed bed, on the Vange side of the marshes, and found again— an old vixen. She took a straight line for Revenden Bushes, then turned to the right across a good country to Wickford, then turned again to North Barnfleet Hall Wood, and then on at a racing paoe to Coombe Wood. Here we expected " whoo- whoop " every minute; the fox was evidently beat, but during a check the hounds were halloed on to a fresh fox, bat although they were immediately stopped the varmint had time to get to an unstopped earth. During this run the horses were very much distressed, as the day was very hot, and Joe, the whipper- in, at the latter end of the run staked and killed his horse, a valuable thorough bred ; but a few of the right sort were out, and as they did not like that our friend Cawston should be burthened with so heavy a loss at the beginning of the season, they set on foot a subscription which will be sufficient to find Joe a horse at least equal to the one so unfortunately lost.— Yours, & c, VBNATOB. SIR MAURICE BERKELEY'S HOUNDS. These hounds, after the restriction to the precincts of the kennels necessary to the respect of their late noble owner, com- menced the season of regular hunting on Monday, October 26th, when they met at Frampton. They found in the Narles, and, after a beautiful hunting run, in which these justly celebraited hounds distinguished themselves, as usual, to the admiration of a large field, killed their fox near Dursley. To make up for lost time, they will hunt five or six days during the ensuing week in the Berkeley country, after which they will go to the Cheltenham kennels. The most distant part of the Broadway country is resigned, by which arrangement the Cheltenham sportsmen will have au extra day in each week within their reach, and thus participate more extensively than heretofore in tfeg gp^ afforded by this highly valued pack, 4 BELL'S LIFE IN- LONDON, NOVEMBER 15, 1857. RAGING IN FRANCE. CHANTILLY SECOND AUTUMN MEETING. ( FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) With this meeting the legitimate racing in France closes, and once more the hard- worked " thorough breds" are permitted to retire from the public view to the quiet of their private stalls and paddocks, save such as are drafted into the gay life of the Champs Elys& s or the excitement of la chasse at Compi6gne or elsewhere. We have before remarked upon the improvement in. the arrangements, whereby the Paris Races come in between the two now recognized autumnal meetings at Chantilly, and could it be so managed that they should not interfere with the Newmarket Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire weeks, we have little doubt but that we should still further be witness to the contests of the French and English horses, so agreeably and satis- factorily of late in rivalry on both sides of the Channel. This last reunion of the season can barely be said to have been thoroughly established. Next year, we are given to understand, it will present a more favourable programme— with at least lialf- a dozen races- and, considering the number of horses upon the spot, it is absolutely necessary with the " hay and corn" ac counts looming in the distance, and which coming events by the bye— in character with the season— cast a shade anyhow but warmly tinted upon the imaginations of the interested. The first race of the day was a little selling race, for Vu^ h three of the most moderate animals ef the year nut in a » tiea* Mice. The distance to be gone over was nearly two miles and three- quarters, which must clearly AQUATIC REGISTER. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE. STOTDAT, Nov L....

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE. COWES, OCT SO.— There still remain some few yachts in the vicinity, cruizing about, owing to the mildness of the weather. On the 28th the lugger Panther, belonging to Lord Willoughby d'Eresby, arrived here from the eastward on a cruize; edso the Nymph, 8ir John Bayley, Bart. 29th : The Dream, George Bentinck, Esq, arrived from Ire- land last from Dartmouth. The Minx, yawl, recently purchased by F. R. Magenis, Esq, of Lord Londesborough, passed this port on Wednesday last, on her way from Poole for Portsmouth, where she will undergo some alterations. xx\ j** iij rr - ——- - < command rood stakes The Earl of Yarbormigh ha? recently a new sooner, building by Mr Inman, at Lymington ; she is to be and be contested for by good animals, whereas ' piaters' and all kinds of " screws" in general want as short a dis- tance to travel over as a considerate administration can possibly provide for their infirmities. Bletia, however, being least infirm, won cleverly by two lengths, and was reclaimed by her owner, when eight stripped for the Prix des Reservoirs, a very useful race in its conditions for this season of the year. Bois Robert won easily enough, and was claimed bv M Cap- deveiile. The Prix des Tribunes— which might be made a more interesting race by the exclusion of the two year olds, who would figure much better by themselves in a Nursery Handicap- brought fourteen runners to the pest, seven being two year olds, six three year olds, and one four year old. It is next to im- possible to make a good handicap wherein two year olds are entered with all- aged horses, and especially in this country, where their merits are so little exposed; and in this race we had a proof of the fact, for the winner, Trovatore, whose running at Paris could never have been calculated, won with a stone in hand. Ph6nix also was very favourably in; and had the race been a " spurt" of three parts of a mile, he and Trovatore would liava come in alone. Nat's performance puts hi ® at the head of all the four year olds, and holds out prospects to his owner of reaping a golden harvest during the next season. The Prix de Consolation brought out M Lupin's favourite, Paladin, once more to run but second best to Garenne, himself receiving all the allowances. The race was, in short, but a hollow affair, Garenne making very strong running, and winning in a canter by several lengths, Commelles a bad third, the rest nowhere.

After some difficulty a very bad start , was effected. Pb6nix, Persepolis, Trovatore, and Bovine got away on good terms, whilst the other horses closing together from both sides, crossed one another, and threw all into confusion, Fortuuia being left altogether at the post until all the rest were gone. After rounding the turn * Ph6nix broke away with the boy, and went on with a lead of half a dozen lengths to the stables at a great pace, whilst Nat, Chatelaine, Vert Galant, Claire, and for ( it du Lys moved to the front: Chatelaine took second place, rising the hill, and at the top Nat joined her, closely followed by Trovatore and Claire, when the leader having " shot his bolt" he was passed in suc- cession by Chatelaine, Nat, and Trovatore. At the distance Chatelaine was disposed of, and Carter, calling upon Trovatore, he came clear away and won in a canter by two lengths, Nat a ffood length in advance of Chatelaine. Ph6nix was a bad fourth, and Claire filth ; next followed Miss Bird, For6t du Lys, and Vert Galant— the rear brought up by Bovine and Fortunio.

The whole of Lea marshes was under water, aud remained so during Friday, doing, ef course, a great deal of damage. The great body of water coming down from that quar- ter was more than the ordinary outlets and watercourses could carry off: and a suspension of traffic was caused on the Eastern Coumies Railway by one of the culverts near the junction ef the main line with the Hertford and Ware branch giving way. About half a mile further on another culvert, with brickwork supporting the timber for the road, gave way from the same cacse. This second culvert was completely repaired on Friday morning ; and indeed, so slight had l>< en the damage, that the engines of the company crossed the spot with safety, although It was not considered prudent to run the passenger trains over it. A temporary stage was cohstructed over the culvert nearest to the Roydon station, over which the passengers had to walk. A temporary bridge, with one line of rails, was com- pleted on Friday night, and traffic was resumed without in- teTOiptiou upon the main line. The Hertford branch, for al- most the entire distance, was underwater on Friday, and the traffic suspended. This was also the case on the North Woolwich branch, where the water at one time was several feet in depth. The stoppage of the traffic, was not, however, owing to any fall of the bridge?, or destruction of the permanent way, but to the Immense floods which covered the railway. We hear that in some parts of Essex, at Colchester and Chelmsford, and in the yisighbourhood of Maldon, the floods have destroyed a great deal of agricultural property. Near Burnham, a young farmer, Mr James Rham, whilst drivins: with a friend in his gisr, alighted to lead to lead the horse through a torrent, and lost his footing, smd was drowned. At the village of Marden, sear Hertford, a blacksmith, named Edward Williams, lost his life in a similar manner. On the southern side of the Thames many houses at Lewisham and Greenwich, in the lower parts of the town were flooded for hours, and it was necessary to use the fire- engines to pimp the water out of their cellars and ground- floor rooms, called the " Zoe," and is 160 tons, about the tonnage of his lordship's late yacht, lost on the Hasborough Sand some few months back. ROYAL THAMES YACHT CLUB. The monthly general meeting of the Royal Thames Yacht Club is appointed for Wednesday evening, the 4th inst, at the club- house, St James's- street. The list of candidates for elec- tion includes several yacht owners. A motion on the desira- bility of limiting the number of members to 750 will be brought forward for discussion ; the limitation, we understand, is not intended to affect yacht owners. The club dinner will take place at six o'clock, prior to the meeting. LONDON MODEL YACHT CLUB. The next general meeting will be held at Anderton's Hotel, Fleet- street, at half- past seven o'clock on Tuesday, Nov 3, when the chair will be taken and business commenced at eight o'clock precisely. Members are earnestly reminded of the importance of the business for this meeting, viz:— the nomination of officers for the ensuing year ; to which it is hoped some pre- cousidera- tion will be given. The selection of stewards will also be made for the eleventh annual dinner ( to take place about the middle of December), at which it is much to be wished that every mem- ber should be present, and also enter, as early as possible, the name or names of those friends he intends to introduce. The maximum tonnage is now raised to 10 tons. ~ TEMPLE YACHT CLUB. The first match of this club, postponed from the 12th inst, came off last Monday, the 26th, when the following boats took their stations as under :— No 1, Rose, 3 tons, J. Wood ( to the southward); 2, Serene, 3 tons, D. Hartshorn ; 3, Acorn, 7 tons, Frickers brothers; 4, Pearl, 3 tons, E. Wildey, Commodore. The course was from East Greenwich round a boat or vessels off Erith, or as near as circumstances might render advisable, and back to East Greenwich. A capital start waseffected at 9h23miu, with a strong breeze from E. by N., when the Pearl was the first away, followed by Acorn, Rose third, and Serene last; upon the Acorn jibing round, the wind being fresh, the strain was too much for her goose neck, which broke in two, and her boom lashing coming adrift with the jerk, she was compelled to lower her mainsail to set matters square, which was effected in a reasonable time, and she was again under way with two reefs down; this accident, of oourse, deprived her in a great measure of any chance of success, so many precious moments being lost; the Pearl theu led the way down Blackwall Reach, but unfortu- nately just above Hookness Point she missed stays and took the ground, and, having to push off, was thereby disqualified from her chance of a prize. She was soon passed by the Rose and Serene; the Acorn, being some distance astern, experienced much difficulty from the strength of the wind, she requiring more ballast, and being a new boat, her crew had not had suffi- cient trial to ascertain her capabilities. A well- contested race then took place between the Serene and the little Rase ( which, although obliged to rate at the same tonnage on the club books, is in reality abqut a ton smaller than the Serene); they went dawn board for board through Woolwich Reach, until, when opposite the Arsenal, on the north shore, both having the point close under their lee, the Serene made a board to windward, then stretched right away through Galleons, while the Rose kept on her course close hauled, thereby avoiding a board to windward, but losing the run of the tide. When just above the powder ship the Serene passed her well to windward. During this time the boats were closely waited upon by the Gipsy astern, carrying the president of the match, aud the Avalanche ahead, to act as vice- presidents' boat for rounding. One of the crew of the Avalaache being suddenly taken ill, was put ashore at Creek's mouth, the consequence of which delay was, that the Rose directly passed the Avalanche, the Serene haviBg already passed her, thereby leaving the two boats unattended. The Serene, wbo was sailed by the veteran Vice- Commodore, G. Cowndeu, kept thrashing away through some very lumpy water for such small craft, still stucktoby the little Rose, until she ( the Serene) rounded a brig off the powder house in the lower part ef Half- way Reach at 11: 45. It being then low water, and the wind dead ahead, she then, on running up before the wind, hailed the Rose to do the same, which she did by beating to windward against tide, and, in coming up, both vessels passed the Acorn riding at anchor opposite Barking, she haviag there met the flood tide. The Serene arrived at the President's boat ( the Gipsy) at East Greenwich at one o'clock, aud the Rose about a quarter of an hour afterwards, where they met the Avalanche, and, after waiting some time to see if the Acorn came in sight, the four boats returned in company, the Acorn arriving home about half an hour afterwards, when the first and second prizes were unanimously awarded to the Serene and Rose respectively. The Temple Yacht Club has only been established since last March, and is chiefly composed ef tradesmen, mechanics, and clerks, so that as yet the prizes are of inconsiderable value, but they will find that as much amusement may be. gained from i their little matches when carried out in proper spirit as from I those more important ones which they have made their model, and we wish them success. CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY BOAT CLUB. At a meeting held last week, R. L. Lloyd, Esq, of Magdalene College, was elected president, and A. L. Smith, Esq, of Trinity College, secretary for the present term. It was also decided that the four- oared races should commence on Wednesday, Nov 11th. SCULLERS RACE BETWEEN DREWITT AND DAY. In Bell's Life of September 13 we detailed the particulars of a race which had taken place on the Monday previously, and had terminated in the most unsatisfactory manner. The men were both landsmen of considerable promise as scullers, Day indeed haviag done much to acquire reputation and being con- siderably the favourite. On the occasion alluded to Day went away very rapidly with the lead, but was collared within half a mile by his opponent, who then went slightly in advance, whenDay coming up hand over hand ran foul of him on his left hand scull. The decision of the referee was that Day had committed a foul according to the laws of boat- racing, and that Drewitt had consequently won the race. In order to render the thing a . trifle more unpleasant, it was subsequently imported into the dispute by Day, that Drewitt's cutter had gone ahead of him in the match contrary to the articles, and that, therefore, Drewitt was not entitled to the stakes. The money was, however, subsequently handed over to Drewitt, and the opinion of every disinterested man who witnessed the race was that he was fairly entitled to it. Both men intimated their desire to row again, and they met on the 28th of September, and made the present match for £ 50 a side, to come off on Thursday, Oct 29, from Put- ney New Bridge to Barnes Railway Bridge, one hour be- fore high water. It was also stated in the articles that in the event of its being rough on the flood tide, the race would be rowed down one hour after high water, and this clause had to be called into requisition on Thursday, last. The morning dawned, as is usual at this time of the year, rather dull, but the sun soon came out in all his brilliancy, and it was a beautiful summer's day, so that large numbers f pe - sons collected as it was aa icipated that this would be a fine cace. The wind, however, was blowing very strong down the river, and rendered the labour with tide almost as great as against it. On the way up to Barnes, on board Citizen N, there was every indication of a coming storm, the symptoms of which gathered very rapidly, and the sky was completely over- cast, but there was no help for it, and those who had brought overcoats had cause for congratulation. On board the steamer was the referee ( appointed by Bell's Life), Mr James Parish, and the umpires were William Blake for Drewitt, and John Salter, for Day. The men appeared at their stations shortly before half- past twelve, and divested themselves of all super- fluous attire, when they presented a very fine appearance, and did great credit to their trainers, Drewitt having been in the hands of William Blake, at F. Style's, Isleworth, and Day having been at the Feathers, Wandsworth. Day ap- peared, if anything, too fine. Betting had been for the most part level, although there weresomefew betsof 5 to4onDrewitt, which increased as the day approached, but, in spite of his slightly, inferior condition at the starting- post, money was being laid out then freely at 5 and 6 to 4 on Day. Each took up his position within the centre arch of the bridge, but they were so close that their sculls almost touched. Close behind the men were their cutters, John Phelps being in the head of Drewitt's, and George Driver coaching Day. Drewitt ( the Chelsea man) took the Middlesex side, having won the choice of station. We are bound to say that the steamer had dropped down so far ahead of the men as to render them barely visible; aud, to add to that, all of a sudden down came the rain, which had been gathering so long, and was borne by the wind dead into the eyes of the spectators, who were all straining to witness the start; after a deal of time wasted in the rain, they made a false start and then went back, and on the second go Day jumped away with a slight lead, but in less than 150 yards his opponent was with him, and they were side D. v side, when Day, drawing too near him, their sculls slightly fouled, but they continued the race without stoppage, remaining, as before, scull and scull, for above a quarter of a mile, when Day again, from some cause, so rowed upon his adversary, as not only to foul his scull but to drag the blade of his OWM scull across the canvas of Drewitt's boat. No appeal whatever was made to the referee, although ad- monition, caution, and condemnation were measured out to Day very unsparingly. When they cleared themselves Day started away with a trifling lead, but the very moment his oppo- nent set down fairly to his work again he passed him like a shot, So marked was Drewitt's superiority that in the next five minutes he was eight- or ten lengths ahead of his opponent, in which order they passed Chiswick Eyot and through Hammer- smith Bridge. Drewitt never tried to increase his lead after this, or he mi. ht have beaten Day by almost any distance. It seems to have been a prevalent opinion that Day's right arm had gone shortly after the commencement of the race, which would account for his drawing over upon his opponent as described. Both men rowed in beautiful specimens of the outrigger, built by Jewitt, of the North. The winner can have the stakes, de- ducting the referee's expenses, by calling at our office on Thurs- day next, at noon. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE- BOAT INSTITUTION. During the present season, when casualties at sea are rife, the following list of the life- boats belonging to or in connection with this Institution, stationed on different points of the coast of the United Kingdom, will be valuable :— Berwick- on- Tweed ; Northumberland— Boulmer, Alnmouth, Hauxley, Newbiggin, and Cullercoats ; Durham— Whitburn and Seaton Carew ; Yorkshire— Filey, Bridlington, and Hornsea ; Suffolk— Lowes- toft, Pakefield, South wold, Thorpeness, and Aid borough; Kent— Walrner, Dover, and Dungeness ; Sussex— Camber, Rye, East- bourne, and Newhaven; Dorsetshire— Lyme Regis; Smith Devon— Teignmouth ; Cornwall— Penzance, Sennen Cove, Pad- stow, and Bude Haven; North Devon— Appledore, Nos 1, 2, and 3; South Wales— Llanelly, Tenby, Fishguard, and Cardi- gan ; North Wales— Aberdovey, Barmouth, Portmadoc, and Rhyl ( tubular); Anglesey— Cemlyn, No 1; Holyhead, No 2 ; Rhoscolyn, No 3 ; Penmon, No 4; Llauddywyn, No 5; and Moelfre, No 6; Lancashire— Lytham ; Isie of Man— Castletown. Ireland— Newcastle, Dundrum ; Droglieda; Skerries, county of Dublin; Wicklow, Arklow, Cahore, Youghal, and Westport. Life- boats are also about being placed by the society at Brighton and Hastings ; and at Ballycotton, Kilmore, and Groom sport in Ireland. Each lifa- boat of the society is supplied, when re- quired, with a transporting carriage. Every kind of store, in- cluding Ward's cork jackets for each man of the crew, is also provided for the boat. Each life- boat of the Institution has a master or coxswain attached to her, at a salary of £ 8 a year, and a volunteer crew, who are paid 5s or 3s a man, accord- ing to the state of the weather; every quarter they are re- quired to go afloat in the life- boat for exercise. Some of these boats are old, and are now by the society being gradually re- placed by new life- boats. To enable the Institution to main tain its numerous life- boats in a state of efficiency, and either to iucrease their number or to replace others which are no longer fit for service, the committee earnestly appeal to the public for support. PIKE V ALECOCK.— It will be in the recollection of our readers that, in consequence of certain misunderstandings which arose concerning a boat race between H. White and T. Pocock, pro- ceedings were instituted against Mi* Alecock, captain of the Fairy steamer, as holder of money that had been betted on the race. At the time we expressed our opinion very strongly, and said: " We cannot conceive a case of greater hardship on a stakeholder than this attempt to make him refund money already paid by him to the lawful winner, should such attempt prove successful; and we consider it a duty now with all sporting men to express their opinion by a subscription to defray the expenses which will necessarily be incurred by Mr Alecock, the captain of the Fairy. We shall be happy te receive and acknowledge any sums that may be sent for the purpose, and lists will be opened at all the respectable houses frequented by watermen and amateurs." Owing to this appeal we received many assurances that funds should not be wanting at the proper time, but there was a general reluctance on the part of persons to come forward with subscriptions until such time as it was manifest that they would really be required. Thus the trial being delayed this affair was for a time lost sight of, but this week we have been given to un- derstand that the trial will be proceeded with, and, indeed, that the declarations have already been delivered, and we trust that the matter may again be taken up by all those who have the interests of British sports at heart. LTMIPTGTOIT, HANTS.— There is great activity prevailing in Inman's yard at present.

This match CAME off QU Tuesday, down the river. The com batanfcs, who acquitted themselves with much honour and credit have not up to the present period gained any particular noto- riety, Finighty only having appeared twice before within the ropes, defeating Young Thompson on the 9th of November, 1852, for £ 10 a side, and making a draw with Riley, after a well- fought and gamely contested battle. This is the first time that Ljmch, who is an American by birth, has ever fought in England, and before his arrival in the old country the game and indo- mitable character of the man as a boxer was well known ; but until the gauntlet was thrown down by Finighty he experienced much difficulty in getting backed by his English friends. In weight the belligerents were restricted to 8st, aud on Monday they went to scale at Mr Jones's, the Coach and Horses, Vine- street, Hit ton- gar den, when both were found to be within the mark, Lynch, who is a wonderfully strong- built man at the weight, being two or three pounds the heavier. The weather was magnificently fine, aud the trip to the scene of action most enjoyable. On the ring being got in readiness, the lads were not long in making their appearance. Lynch, on stepping within the ropes, having behind him Jack Hicks and Woody; while Finighty had for his seconds George Brown and Morris Roberts of Birmingham. Lynch, on peeling, gave every indication of being in the best condition, while there was that in bis phiz quite in keeping with the character of the man, for on it was delineated an indomitable resolution, not for a moment to be mistaken. Finighty, although not so hardy, was completely up to the mark. He was the favourite in betting at 5 to 4. THE FIGHT. Round 1. The position of Finighty had all the lightness, ele- gance, and gracefulness of the m « dern school. Lynch stood firm, and though his attitude was not so imposing, still he, from top to toe, looked a very formidable opponent. As Finighty kept manoeuvring for an opening, his countenance wore a good- humoured smile, while the American looked serious. Simon was not long in breaking the ice. With the right he planted a stinger on the ribs, and followed this up with another shot on the head, getting cleverly away without a return. As Lynch came dashing in, he was met with stinging severity on the head, Finighty delivering a one, two, three, in magnificent style. Lynch, not to be denied, administered a heavy thwack on the body, and then closed. Simon, however, proved ready for his mac at all points, gave him the back heel in first- rate style, and threw him heavily in the middle of the ring. First blood was olaimed for Simon, and, though disputed by Charley's seconds, still, on the men being taken to their corners, we saw a show of the " vermilion" from Lynch's nasal prominence. 2. The American, eager to renew hostilities, came to the scratch, and was promptly met by his opponent. Finighty, in leading, planted the left twice full on the forehead, and followed up with au additional stinger with the right. Lynch, in his returns, was too wild, and did no execution; still he fought un- flinchingly to a close, when both fell in the middle of the ring. 3. This was a splendid round. Finighty, with quickness and precision, planted the left twice in succession on the cast- iron nob of bis opponent; the American returned with a toast- warmer on the ribs, and, as Simon broke ground, followed with dare- devil impetuosity. After a pretty rally, in which Finighty repeatedly trot home on the dial, they closed at the ropes ; the Irish lad finding himself in slight difficulties got away from his antagonist, and went down, Lynch missing the delivery of an upper- cut that might have " told a tale." 4. Both readily obeyed the call of time. Finighty opened the ball with some more rapid deliveries from the left on the mouth, nose, and head. Charley with a lounging hit got home on the body, and theu closed. In the half- arm fighting Simon was by no means idle, and in the struggle the combatants got on the ropes, and went down. 5. Charley stopped a rattler from the left, when Finighty shifted his position, being instantly followed. This move gave him the opening, and he administered on the osfrontis. In a rally they fought pluckily, until Lynch slipped and fell. In a moment, however, he had regained his equilibrium, and renewed the fighting, when, after some more exchanges, he again went down. 6. Finighty doing execution most effectively with the left, which, from his superior science, he was capable of planting with irresistible force. Lynch, with his usual impetuosity, came rushing in, the combatants in a spirited rally fighting with both hands until Lynch went down near the ropes. 7. This was another rattling round. Simon gave his man a pretty one, two, on the nose and head. Lynch stood and fought with determination, having all the worst of the punishment. In a rally, in which Charley impetuously followed his man rouud the ring, they closed, both going down in a fall. 8. More heavy fighting; pop, pop, pop went Finighty's left on the nob ; when Lynch, after getting on the ribs, closed, and was thrown heavily in the middle of the ring. 9. The Irish lad, active as a grasshopper, doing plenty of fancy work with the left, the returns from Lynch being well intended, but lacking effect from the want of steadiness. As Simon retreated, Charley followed, aud after planting a pile iriver on the body, closed, aud Finighty gave the back heel and ; hrew him heavily. 10. After administering the left effectively, Finighty retreated, Lynch springing forward with a kind of jump to renew the flghting. In a well fought rally they got to Simon's corner, when the American slipped and went down. 11. Again, again, and again did Finighty plant his stinging left full on his opponent's nob, when Lynch rushed to in- fighting, and from the effect of his impetuous action, fell on his kuees. While in this position he was hit slightly by his opponent on the head, when foul was claimed, but it was " no go." 12. Finighty home on the right glim with rattling force, when, after some good fighting with both mawleys, the men closed, and went dowu, Lynch having a shade the best of the fall, 13. Charley had no sooner received another one, two, on the nob than he rushed at hi* man, and, after a spirited rally, in which Lj nch, as usual, bad the lion's share of punishment, they closed at the ropes. Simon, in clever style, put on the " hug," when the American, alter a desperate struggle, broke, and Finighty went down. 14. Simon delivered a rattling spank on the forehead, and again, in the cross- counter, administered a severe hit on the cheek, which for a moment caused the gallant Lynch to pause in the impetuosity of his rush. As Finighty retreated he dashed at him, and fought desperately until he fell on his knees. Char- ley on the instant was on I- 1 is pins, and renewed the round, fight- ing his opponent to a close, and in the struggle both went down, amidst the deafening cheers of their friends. 15. Simon delivered the left ou the nasal organ, when Lynch rushed at his man, and they fought spiritedly to the close, Finighty making a good finish to a good round, by grassing his antagonist heavily with the back heel. 16. On the call of " time" Lynch came gaily up, and was in- stantly met by his antagonist. Simon, with the left, gave a couple of nut- crackers, when the American closed and was thrown with considerable force. 17. Fiuighty got home heavily on the side of the head, Lynch missing a terrific right- hander. A pause; counter- hitting all in favour of Simon, and, in a rally, they got on the ropes. Lynch tried to hug his man, but Finighty broke from him in clever , style, and in giving some pepper hit his left hand against the stake. A close, and Lynch under in a harmless fall, 18. Simon gave the left with stiuging severity full on the snout, causing Lynch to pause. Finighty smiling, broke ground, followed by the American, who received an additional dose of cayenne on the head. Lynch, as his man retreated, missed a swinging hit with the left, closed, and after a struggle at the ropes was thrown a heavy back fall. 19. Spirited exchanges, Lyuch, in his usual manner, dashing in for the close, when, after a severe tussle, he was again thrown, Fieighty in wrestling, as in fighting, having every possible advantage. 20. Simon home left and right full in the middle of the head, when Lynch closed, and in struggling with his opponent caught him by the hair of his head, which had not been cut sufficiently short. Charley, however, did not obtain any advantage, for he was thrown heavily near the ropes. 21. Finighty gave one, two, with the left, and sprung cleverly out of distance. Lynch dashed in, and closed at the ropes, but in consequence of a slip went down upon his knees, 22. The Irish lad planted on his man heavily, when Lynch, with a half jump, sprung at him, and after getting the right on the body fell on his knees purely from his over impetuosity, and not with any intention to avoid. 23. A slight falling off in the rapidity of the fighting, both evidently requiriug more time than that allowed. After a little manoeuvring Lynch tried the lead, but was not within distance. Thus far have we described in detail the rounds of this game and splendidly fought battle. Although almost every round fought is worthy of being particularised, still the crowded state of our columns would not permit of our attempting to give them in extenso; we shall therefore confine ourselves to men- tioning the leading points requisite to be recorded. Finighty, it soon became apparent, had sustained some injury to his dan- gerous left, for, as the contest progressed, he was not able to make the same use of it as at the commencement. Ready, how- ever, to a point, he at once changed his tactics, and often brought the right into use in a manner that was quite surpris- ing. Had he not have injured his left, there can be no doubt he would have licked his opponent with much ease, by completely blinding him, this beifcg the only way, unless knocked out of time, that a man of Lynch's indomitable pluck can be plaeed hors de combat The punishment he took, for combatants of the feather weights, was tremendous, but this seemed to take but little effect on him, for physically he was strong to the last. In the whole, 95 rounds were fought, occupying two hours and forty- eight minutes, in the last of which Lynch unquestionably hit his antagonist heavily when on his knees; but that he in- tended to do so we do not for a moment believe, for it was now nearly dark, the game fellow was totally blind with the left eye, and partially so with the right. An appeal of " foul" was made, for the friends of the gallant little Finighty were desirous to snatch at " averdict;" when George Robinson, wbo was appointed umpire for Lynch, said that his man had lost the battle; and therefore there was not the least necessity to appeal to the referee, and Finighty was proclaimed the winner. But two rounds before the contest had been brought to this unlooked for conclusion, our representative, seeing that there was no chance of the battle being fairly concluded, got into the ring, and proposed that the combatants should " draw." To this proposi- tion the seconds of the belligerents would not consent, as they could not agree upon when the battle should be renewed, for- getting, we suppose, that this was a duty that rested entirely with the referee. When on board the boat, our representative asked Robinson whether or not he had given in against Lynch, when he openly stated that be had, and thought he was per- fectly justified in so doing. It has been stated that Robinson was bribed by the friends of Finighty, but of this we have no proof, " but Mr Beard, a backer of Lynch, has given us notice not to part with the stakes until Friday next, ou which day he has undertaken to prove beyond a doubt that Robinson received £ 2 to decide against Lynch. If this can be shown distinctly, it will, of course, have some effect upon our decision; but if not, the money must be given to Finignty. The men and their friends must meet at our office on Friday next, at twelve precise. THE~ CHAMPIONSHIP. TOM SAYEES AND BILL BENJAMIN.— The next deposit of £ 20 a side for this important match must be made at Tom Cole's, Green Man, Green- street, Church- street, Blackfriars, on Thursday next.

We have this week received a letter from Jem Mace, enclosing £ 10, and expressing a hope that Madden would not draw the forfeit but increase the stakes to £ 100 a side. This, however, he has declined to do. Whether he will make a fresh match remains to be seen. As to the weigh- ing, Mace requests us to state that he became excited because Madden would not weigh so as to enable him to judge whether he was within the mark, and that he forgot that his coat and waistcoat were off when he went into the street. He adds that he went to Gravesend by the advice of his friends to avoid being taken into custody. He refused to agree to Dismore as a referee by the advice of his friends, but was quite willing to agree to a Capt B, who was on the ground, and to whom Madden would have consented had he not been prevented by Mr Lock wood, his backer. We give this statement to gratify Mace, but in taking leave of the subject we can only express our regret that he should have been led away by the advice of those who were evi- dently ignorant of ring matters, and thus deprived his friends of the sight of what would no doubt have been a first- rate mill. Mace's friends have since sent to us to say that Mace will make a fresh match with Madden, for any sum from £ 10 to £ 100 a side. We were sorry to hear at th6 last moment that Madden had not accounted to his backers for their own money. It is to be hoped that this will turn out to be a false rumour. Bill Hayes seeing in BeU's Life of last week that it was stated in that office that there were some defalcations, in his holding some money betted by Mace's friends in his fight with Thorpe, begs to say that if Mace will pay his ( Hayes's) friends their de- mands respecting the said fight, he ( Hayes) will hand over to the friends of Mace williugly the money due to them. We are informed that Haley, who was matched with Vickery, after receiving the forfeit from us bolted with the proceeds, and never accounted to his backer for his own money. Of course such a scoundrel will have some difficulty in finding backers in future. kept for reference. Private lessons at all times.

THE PUGILISTS AND THE INDIAN FUND.— We have beau disappointed in the arena which we expected to have secured to enable the members of the P. R. to give a sparring entertain* ment in aid of the Indian fund, and the men are at their wits end to obtain a place of exhibition. It is somewhat strange, to say the least of it, that although the worthy Middlesex unpaid beaks refused a license to the Adelaide Gallery unless an under- taking was given that no more sparring should be allowed, these extremely moral gentlemen have yet so mismanaged the busi- ness they undertook to do that the Casino which they drove from the Argyll Rooms is to be renewed with extraordinary im- provements and decorations to t, he very rooms at which they refused to sanction sparring. One can scarcely help fancying that there must be some reason for this which does not meet the eye. Possibly some of the beaks are better dancers than performers Of course ] with their digits. Nat Langham, fearing that the pugs will not have an opportunity of showing their feeling in their own way, has given us £ 1 towards the fund and expressed a hope that other sporting bungs will follew his example.

MATCH AT OXFORD POR £' 50.— A match for £ 25 a side came off on Port Meadow, Oxferd, on Monday, Oct 26, between Mr Hall, a well- known sportsman of Yarnton, near Oxford, and Aaron Jones, the well- known member of the Prize Ring, who has taken up his quarters in the neighbourhood ef Oxford. Both parties are known as good shots ; Mr Hall, however, was slightly the favourite at 5 to 4. The conditions of the match were 21 birds each, 21 yards rise, 100 yards boundary, l^ oz shot, 3 drachms of powder, each party to trap his opponent's birds, & o. Mr Hall commenced the shooting, and brought down his first bird in style, an example speedily followed by his opponent, who, however, was not so fortunate in his second attempt, the bird getting clear away. Mr Hall floored his second and third, and missed his fourth, while Aaron missed his second aud killed his first, third, and fourth. The competitors at this point were even ; the fifth and sixth shots left them in the same position, both killing their birds. Upon the seventh fire, by a curious coincidence both birds escaped, thus again making it even shooting. Shot eight, both birds falling, showed the parties to be closely matched, and considerable speculation ensued as tt> the final result. From this point, however, a change took place, Mr Hall killing his ninth, tonth, eleventh, twelth, thirteenth, fourteenth bird In succession, while Aaron missed his ninth aud twelfth, killing his tenth, eleventh, thirteenth, and four, teenth, leaving Mr Hall two birds ahead. The fifteenth wa4 missed by Mr Hall and killed by Aaron, reducing the advantage the former had obtained to one bird. The sixteenth and seven- teenth were killed by both parties, the eighteenth was killed by Aaron and missed by Mr Hall. The nineteenth shot was a death warning to both birds, and the twentieth a miss for Mr Hall Aaron killing, aud reducing the advantage of his opponent - i; o one bird, a position he did not alter, although there wfs'the chance of his making a tie in the event of Mr Hall miss ing his last bird. This, however, did not occur, as both were successful with their last thot. The match, it will be seen, was w on by one bird only, a circumstance which must prove to A- arou's backers that their confidence was not misplaced, he having proved himself a first- rate shot. A considerable amount of betting took place on the number of birds each party would kill, several backing Hall to kill 16 and Aaron a similar number. We may observe that both Mr Hall aud Aaron exhibited great nerve, and that everything passed off in the most ag- " Ale manner, in the presence of nearly a thousand persons. ' The weather was well adapted for the match, not the slightest breeze interfering with the course of the birds, which were of the blua rock species. COPENHAGEN GROUNDS, NEAR MANCHESTER.—- Mr Thomas Hayes informs his friends that, in consequence of the opeuness of the season ( the birds being still hatching), he has been unable to provide pigeons for the challenge cup, intended to be shot for on the 4th and 5th of November. He has consequently with- drawn the cup, and instead thereof, as some crack shots seem to prefer it, he will substitute a sweepstakes of£ l each, to vhich he will add £ 5, to come off on the 2d of December, wh » n he hopes to be enabled to provide some first- rate blue rocks, aid fo shoot, as far as rise, boundary, and shot are concerned, n ac- cordance with the conditions intended for the challenge sup. Mr Hayes will receive entries up to the day of shooting » his grounds, Newton Heath, near Manchester. Any gentbman having entered for the challenge cup will have the noney returned on forwarding his address to Mr Hayes. MR SHELDON, of the Vine Inn, Aston, near Birmingham, COTK menced the shooting season at his grounds on Monday 1?: which, since the close of last season, has been under able hanos. It is well laid down and turfed, and the whole arrangements for shooters and spectators do great credit to the proprietor. There was a large muster present, and amongst the number many crack shots of the surrounding districts. The match was for a fat pig, valued £ 10, which was shot for by nine members, at £ 1 each, at 5 birds « ach. A well contested match took place, Mr Smith of Worcester killing all his birds ( two shares); also Messrs Cottis of Westbromwich, Moore of Tipton, Brown of Walsall, and Thomas of Birmingham killed all, and agreed to shoot off bird for bird, when they all killed up to their eighth bird, but owing to darkness coming on they agreed to divide. Due notice will be given of the sweepstakes and other matches which are to come off. A MATCH, for £ 10 a side, between Mr Aaron Jones and J. Allam, Esq, of Oxford, came off at eleven birds each near Nixon's Ground, St Aldates, Oxford, on Thursday, the 29th ult. The conditions were of the usual kind, no stipulation, however, being made as to the calibre of the fowling pieces or the quantity of charge to be used. The match proved a one sided affair, Jones killing six birds out of nine, while the Squire was only fortunate in three shots, missing six birds. AT MR W.

The committee of the above society have much pleasure in being able to announce the folio » ing contributions to the fund, as already paid into the treasurer's hands. These, together with sundry amounts of subscription received from benefit members, will, after various necessary disbursements, leave a clear balance of about £ 350 available for the purposes of the society. The fund will be greatly augmented annually, from the receipts of the great match between the two elevens, which will be played for its benefit at Lord's, about the usual time of the season, and no doubt during the contest many'admirers of the game will lend a helping hand for so worthy an object.

SINGLE WICKET MATCH. | JKIEKSTAIJ,, OCT 20.— On Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, the 15th, 16th, and 17th, a most exciting and interesting match came off OH the Victoria Ground, Leeds, between Mr Sadler of Leeds and Mr Grange of Kirkstall, each having a fielder. The former had the services of Atkinson, and Grange luckily met with Swain, the professional, from Richmond, who was at once en- gaged to bring his man into good practice, as well as to field in the match. The backers of both men felt confident of success, so that the excitement partook something of a Derby or Leger day. Upwards of £ 1,000 was won in the neighbourhood of Leeds alone. The umpires, Berry and Chatterton, from Sheffield, at a quarter to twelve on Thursday morning called play. Grange won the toss ; his strong defence and steady play changed the minds of a great many of the Leeds party, who had set him down as scarcely a moderate player. His reign at the wicket occupied two hours and a half, when be gave a chance at mid- wicket off, which was well taken by Atkinson, having received 159 balls, 80 hits, 17 runs, 10 wides— total 27. Sadler then went o the wicket, and was not long ere he began scoring. Swain covered the ground of two ordinary fielders. When nine runs had been scored a ball was skied to the long field on. Swain had to run a considerable distance, and was just about to make his fatal " grab," when a person crossed between him and the ball, and he could not recover his sight again to sufficiently make the much desired catcb. The attempt tore the nail from the flesh of the little finger. Sadler reached 24, and received 96 balls, 42 hits, 20 runs, 4 wides. The sight at this moment was beyond description. Hundreds had left work from Kirkstall forge, in their shirt- sleeves rolled up and leather aprons, or in anything that first came to hand. Friday opened with a drizzling rain, but at twelve o'clock the elements cleared a little, and the umpires called play, Grange being again on the defensive to the under- hand " daisy cutters" of Sadler, who showed bad judgment in producing such a contrast from his batting. Having, however, satisfied himself that Grange was not to be " ticed," he again took to the round arm, but not before Grange had put on three twos and several singles. In this innings Grange showed finer cricket than he had on the day previous; his play was more free, and his defence equally as strong. At one o'clock the umpires again pocketed the bails, the rain coming on too heavily for one to bowl or bat. The score was 21, including two wides. 2 to 1 was now laid upon Grange, which was freely taken. Saturday brought fine weather, and at a quarter te twelve play was again called. Grange, after re- ceiving 11 balls and making three runs, played a ball ( which had takes hold and bung) back to the hands of Sadler, leaving 25 for that gentleman to get to win. The excitement was intense, 6 to 4 being laid on Sadler, which was freely taken. After half an hour Sadler came to the wicket, and Grange and Swain to their old positions. Grange bowled remarkably well. At the fourteenth ball an appeal of leg before wicket was made. The auswer, however, was " not out." The eighteenth ball ( the last) was pitched straight for the two leg stumps, and well up j there was a flourish of the bat; the temptation was too great for Sadler, it was his favourite hit. The ball was seen high in the air, making its way towards the fence, over the bowler s head. This was the most anxious moment of the match; several parties turned their heads, but it was not considered a catch. The little " spring wire man," however, was running backwards, making his calculation, when he gave a bound up- wards, and Swain had caught it. Thus ended one of the most exciting single wicket matches ever played in the West Riding of Yorkshire, Grange winning by 21 ruas. EEKATUM.— The gentlemen of Sussex v Hants was played Aug 3d instead of Sept 3d, as stated in our last. THE FIRST MATCH BETWEEN THE GENTLEMEN OF SUSSEX AND HANTS.— This match, played at Brighton, July 2d, was omitted in our table of last week. Hampshire scored 161, and , and Sussex 219. The first day's play only appeared in our columns. We therefore cannot give the figures at present, but Sussex won. PEDESTEIANISM.

The half- yearly sports at Rossall School came off on the after- noons of the 17th and 24th ult, and were favoured by finer days than might have been expected at this season. The running, & o, shows a great improvement on that of previous occasions, and is altogether creditable to Rossall as a comparatively recent insti- tution. The various events were as follows :— HUEDLE RACE OP 1,100 YAEDS ( over nine hurdles).— A. Fawkes ( scratch) 1, C. S. Noble ( 20 yards start) 2, J. M. Lister ( 100) 3 ; six ran. Won by 15 yards.

Mr Noble's jumping was quite in accordance with his name, but that with the pole deserves especial mention. DOINGS AT THE SALFORD BOROUGH GARDENS. SATURDAY, OCT 24.— Any one professing to have the slight- est regard for truth would indeed be a daring man to assert that handicap foot- racing has not now become one of the most popular sources of enjoyment— especially to the hard- working artisans— which is to be found in the neighbourhood of Man- chester ; and though there, as elsewhere, are some who carp at it, still we are glad to say that though these cynics rail, the sport still flourishes. Of the correctness of this our columns, week after week, furnish abundant evidence, and the enter- prising proprietors of the only two pedestrian grounds in that neighbourhood merit honourable mention, not only for origi- nating races of this description, but also for the care and judg- ment they exercise in bringing them to a satisfactory termina- tion to all concerned or connected therewith. We now proceed briefly to place another upon record, which commenced this after- noon, in the presence of a goodly number of sportsmen, namely, THE GEEAT ALL ENGLAND HANDICAP.— The distance in this handicap was 440 yards, and, out of a numerous entry, 28 of the fleet of foot accepted, and these were divided into seven lots, four men being in each. The first prise was £ 20, second £ 4, and third £ 1. The arrangements were of the usual excellent description, and shortly after half- past three o'clock the uport opened, Mr A. Attenbury filling the office of referee. Subjoined is the betting at start as to the final result: 4 to 1 agst Lindley, 5 to 1 each agst Hootoii and Buckley, 6 to 1 each agst Inwood and Greenwood, 8 to 1 each agst Barber and Seward, and 20 to 1 agstSeddon. The following is the result:— Lot 1: E. Green- wood ( alias the German Lad) 38 yards start, 1; S. Howard 45, 2; R. H. Knutton 30, 3. The betting was 3 to 1 on Greenwood, who won easily by five yards.— Lot 2 : P. Lindley 50 yards wtart, 1; R. M'Mullen 50, 2. Betting : 2 to 1 on Lindley, who won as he pleased, his opponent giving up.— Lot 3: R. Inwood 48 yards start, 1; J. Newton ( alias Jam Lad) 34, 2. Inwood wa » the favourite for this heat, and won it easily by eight yards. - Lot i 4: J. Seddon 45 yards start, 1; E. Stott 50,2; T. Clay 45, i 3 ; J. Nolan 45, 4. Betting : 6 to 4 on Nolan, 6 to 4 agst (' lay, , 5 to 2 agst Seddon, and 4 to 1 against Stott. Won by 24 yards. — Lot 5: P. Hooton 50 yards start, 1; J. Buckley 37, 2; G. Bar- ber 24, 3; C. Hall 50, 4. Betting: 5 to 2 on Buckley, but the favourite was defeated by Hooton, after a good race, by a yard and a half.— Lot 6: G. Richardson 50 yards start, 1; G. Dearden 34, 2; T.

This event concluded the sport of the afternoon, which in point of weather had been fine, aud shortly afterwards the winners were drawn as to the order in which they should contend on MONDAY.— Considering that the period of the year has now arrived when autumn recedes aud winter approaches, the day was as beautiful as the most ardent admirers of sport could wish, and though the attendance of visitors was not large, still : it included some of the " right sort," the deciding heats being i watched with considerable interest. The first contest was fixed j for three o'clock, and the following is a return of the running : : — Lot 1: Hooton 1, Inwood 2. Won by four yards.— Lot 2: Greenwood 1, Richardson 2. Betting: 3 to 1 on Greenwood, who won as he pleased, Richardson giving up.— Lot 3: Seddon 1, ! Seward 2, Lindley 3. Betting: Lindley agst the Field, 6 to 4 agst W. hills, Esq Capt Eyton G.

Hooton of Liverpool 50 yards start, 1; J. Seddon of Bamber Bridge 45,2; E. Greenwood 38, 3. Hootoa was never headed, and won the handicap by five yards, Seddon defeating Greenwood for second place by a yard. With this the sport was brought to a close, every one appearing highly gratified.

They ran well together for three parts of the distance, when Richmond made a spurt, and in a stride or two made a fearful gap, and Badger, seeing that he had no chance, gave up, the former thus gaining the victory.— Lot 11: Wm.

BEOWN AND JENNS.— The match between George Brown of Hungerford Market and Joseph Jenns of Camden Town to walk seven miles level, for £ 15 a side, came off on Monday last, at Mr Sadler's enclosed grounds, Garratt- lane, Wandsworth. The patrons of pedestrianism may recollect that this was the second time these men contended together, their first match being decided some few months back, over the same course, on which occasion the pedestrians walked only four miles, Jenns allowing his opponent a minute start, and after a well- contested struggle Brown proved victorious. The Camden Town hero, desirous to retrieve his lost laurels, articles for the present match were en- tered into. Amongthe respective admirers of the men the event produced considerable excitement, and on- Monday a strong muster assembled to witness the result. Since the ratification of the articles Jenns has been in training under the care of Wm. Newman, and Brown was tutored by little Billy Busby of the Adelphi. Brown in make is a lad or a much more sturdy build than Jenns, but as regards gracefulness of style in walking there is no comparison between them. It was stipulated that the match should come off at half- past three o'clock, and by that time the competitors and their friends were on the ground. In making selection of the umpires and referee not the least difficulty was experienced, and, these preliminaries being adjusted, the pedestrians came to the scratch. The bet- ting was at 6 to 4 on Jenns, his friends thinking it a certainty for their man. Having responded in the affirmative of the question of, " Are you both ready?" the signal to start was given, when away they went in good style, being followed by the referee on foot, who, for the purpose of deciding impartially be- tween the competitors, adopted this mode of witnessing the mat oh, much to Ms own annoyance, as the labour, trouble, and exertion attending it was very great. It is, however, ridiculous for a referee to fix himself at one particular spot and pretend to say, as an impartial man, that he sees all that is going on cor- rectly, more particularly when the pedestrians ( as in this in- stance) are followed by their partizans rouud the course; there- fore, under such circumstances, it is the duty of that functionary to keep as near the competitors as he possibly can. On the men getting away, the lead was taken by Brown, who from the com- mencement made the pace first- rate, being, however, followed close in the rear by Jenns, whose fair and indisputable style of walking was the admiration of all. In this manner they con- tinued to contest the match throughout the first and second mile, being followed during the whole of this distance by the referee, who, by the way of warning to Brown, when he observed any- thing in the shape of " lifting," occasionally told him to " heel down," which mandate he at once obeyed. On the beginning of the third mile Jenns, in going down the side stretch, challenged his opponent for the lead, and the brilliant manner in which he went ahead assured his friends that he still had the match in hand. Jenns, however, did not maintain this prominent posi- tion long, as Brown once more passed him, and they continued to walk well together until the commencement of the seven- teenth lap, when Jenns, in a magnificent spurt, once more chal- lenged his antagonist for the lead, aud so far succeeded as to close up. the gap between them, and, having done this, his partizans made certain that he must be victorious. This, however, did not prove to be the case, for Brown again went away from him, and having done so, Jenns we think would have at ouce given in had not Newman told him to go on. The match, however, was now virtually over, for Jenns had not the least chance left, as Brown at every stride kept leaving his opponeut still further and further in the rear, going in a winner by nearly 200 yards. The referee having waited on us and assured us that Brown had won the match fairly, he can have the stakes by calling at our office next Thursday at 12 o'clock; but in consequence of a letter we have received, cautioning us against giving up the money, he must be prepared to give us a sufficient guarantee against legal proceedings. BBUNTON AND STEAKEB.— The race, for £ 25 a side, between these men, distance 200 yards, came off as announced on Monday last, at the Grapes Inn, Westgate, Newcastle- on- Tyne. Betting: 6 to 4 and 2 to 1 on Straker, who after an excellent race, proved the victor by half a yard.

EXTBAOSDINABY RATTING,— The great ratting feat of de- stroying 100 large rats under seven minutes, was attempted last Wednesday evening, at Mr J. Saint's, jun, theJolly Brickmakers, Notting Dale, in presence of a very large meeting. At nine o'clock the 100 rats being counted into the pit, and time- keepers, & c, being agreed to, Young Shaw ( Jemmy's sou) entered the pit with his father's old favourite dog. On being called, the cou- rageous animal commenced his arduous task. When three minutes had elapsed there was above half the number hors de combat; at four minutes the pace began to tell, and at five the old dog actually fell with distress, and although unable to stand, destroyed several of the vermin as they passed him. When time ( seven minutes) was called, there were 11 disputed rats, which after the old dog came round he soon despatched. Several other ratting feats followed, which gave general satisfaction. Too much praise cannot be given to the Young Saints's for their fairness and impartiality. Jemmy Shaw expressed his wish to give his old dog another chance, aud offered to back him to kill 100 barn rats under eight minutes, for any reasonable sum; to come off in any frir pit, Bell's Life to be stakeholder.

THE MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE, MARK- LANE- FRIDAY. The market opened in the same lifeless manner as on Monday, and » • little business was done that prices must be considered nominal; 1* fact, it is almost impeseible to fix the real value of Wheat, either English or Foreign, the arrivals of the latter being again liberal. Barley shared in Ihe depression, and the same will apply to Malt, Another extensive imports of Oats, together with a large supply from Ireland, caused the trade to be heavy, and prices declined I s per qr„ without any progress ia sales. The Flour trade was equally flat, at Monday's reduced rates.— The current prices, per qr.— British:— Wheat, Essex, Kent, and Suflmir, white, i? s to 50s; ditto, fine selected runs, 51s to 56s; ditto red, 40s to 50s; ditto, Talavera. 51s; to 60s; Norfolk.

BREAD.— The price of Bread in the City and at the West End is still maintained at 7Ja to 8id the 41fe lb loaf; but in other places bakers are selling the best bread at 7d the 41b loaf; while in the cheap neishboui- hoods they profess to sell at 6Jd. 41b loaf. SEED MARKET.— Linseed remains dull and depressed, as well as other crushing seeds. In Cloverseed not much passing; fine qualities are not offered on lower terms. Can& ryseed was in fair supply, and prices werelower, but little was sold. Winter Tales sold at late rates, Prices- Turnips, white. 15sto 16s per bushel; red and green, 15s to 16s; Mustard brown, 10s to 18s; while, 18s to 22s; Tares, winter, 5s Od to 6s Oe ; Canary. 92s to 100i per qr.; Rye Grass, 28s to 29s; Clover, red, English, 61s to 76s per cwt.; ditto, white, 62s to 78s; ditto, Foreign, red, 62s to 74s; ditto, white, 80s ; Trefoil, new, 23s to 25s; Carraway, new, 18s lo 50s per cwt; Coriander, 80s to 82s: Hempseed, 46sto 48s per qr.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET, FBIBAX.— The supply ol Beasts in to- day's market was moderate, and the demand ruled heavy, at a decline of 2d to id. Sheep met a slow sale ; in pricts. however, no change took place. The supply of Calves was limited, and sold at a deeline of id per 81b. Pigs and Milch Cows were dull, at late rates.— Beef— Inferior coarse Beasts. 8B 0d to 8s 2d J second quality, SB 4d so 3s Sd; prime large Oxen, 3s lOdSe isOd; prime Scats, is 2dto 4s 80, Sheep— Infer coarse Sheep, 8e6d to 8s 8* i; second quality, Ss 10J te is 2< i, prime coarse woolled, is id to 5s Od; prime South Down 6s 2d to 5s id, Cahes— Large coarse Calves, 4s 0s to is 6d; prime small 4s3dto5s0d, Pork— Large Hogs, is Od to is 6d, neat small porkers 4s 8d to 5s 2d, Suckling ( Stives23s to29s each; « iurter- oldstore Pigs 22s to 29e OchliUc.

PROVISION MARKET,— The arrivals last week from Ireland were 13,560 firkins Butter and L379 bales Bacon, and Irom Foreign ports 7,761 casks Butter and 801 bales Bacon. We have had another dull week in Irish Butter, and scarcely anything done till towards the cloee, when some few sales were effected at a further reduction of 2s to 8s per cwt. The advices from Ireland notice small supplies into all the markets, and we look for a reaction here shortly. There is a fair demand for Foreign Butter, but prices have given way. We quote fine Frieeland at 114s to U6s per cwt. The English Butter market is inactive, the supply being scanty. The following are the prices:— Doiset fine new milk 125s, to 126s, ditto middling 100s to 102s Od, Devon llis toU6s - » e » b 12s to 15s per dozen lb. Holders of Bacon press sales, though best Water ford is offered at 70a landed; stocks increase. Hamburg Bacon 66s to 68s, English 66s to 68s. American in short supply, and the best sorts inquired for, and prices range from i6s to5is. The defective English and Irish Bacon which has recently been sold at Sis to 42s per cwt, muBt compete seri- ously with heated and sour American middles. Hams and Lard ar » scarce, and the latter barely maintains previous prices. The demand for Cheese has been dull the past week for all kinds, and to effect sales lower prices had to be submitted to, say 2s per cwt, and inferior 6s to 8s. The supplies continue large, and stocks are still on the increase. Prices as follow:— Cheddar, new, 67s. to 78s; ditto middling — a to— a ditto loaf, 66s to 72s: Wilts loaf. 62s to 72s; ditto double, 58a to 68s ditto thin, 5is to 64s; ditto pines, 76s to — s; ditto skim, 28s to 88B Cheshire, 62s to 76s; double Gloucester, 6ds to 66s per cwt. POTATO MARKETS, FRIDAY.— The arrivals of Potatoes since Mon- day, coastwise and by railway, have been moderate at the Borough and Spitalfields markets, and demand has been sluggish. The imports from abroad have been extensive.— York Regents 140s to 160s per ton, Kent and Essex Regents 120s to li9s, Scotch Regents — s to — 8, middlings 66s to 70s, Lincolns UOs to 120s, blues 129s. HOP MARKET, BOROUGH.— The choice Hops are gradually disap- pearing from the market, being bought up as seon as opened, We have very few left, which perhaps is fortunate for the growers, as we hear the merchants are disappointed in their orders ; their country trade it> a mere nothing. Sussex and Weald of Kents are superseded for the pre- sent by the Worcester, with which they are totally unable to compete, either in price or quality. The Middle and inferior East Kent hang very heavily on hand at present. The demand generally is not very active. — New Weald of Kent and Sussex pockets, per cwt, 65s to i? 4s; new Middle Kent pockets, ditto, 9Cs to Jl5s. WOOL MARKET, FRIDAY.— Since our last report great heaviness has prevailed in this market, and prices have a downward tendency. The present state of the Money Market, the want of foreign orders, and the approaching public sales, added to the unfavourable Lews from the United States, have had very considerable influence upon buyers.— Fleeces— Southdowa hogs £ 1910s to £ 20 0s, ditto liaitbred hogs £ 21 to£ 19, ditto Kent £ 1910s to£ 1910s, ditto Southdown ewes and wether £ 18s to £ 18s 10, ditto Leicester ditto £ 17 0s to £ 18 9B.

The course between Dalton aud Triton needs little comment, Dalton winning: cleverly. The trials in this " tie" were of an ordinary character, if we except Cornet Graham and Stephauo, which was a regular " set- to," the Cornet just pr oving victorious. THE SOUTHPORT STAKES.— Mendicant defeated Prospect, the oid one having it all her own way. Ajax ran a very strong dog and won throuihoui. Barrator had very little to spare with Random. Surprise beat Bloodshot cleverly, and proved hinself a good dog after his performance the few days preceding. Deacon and Malakoff: This was a very interesting trial, the North dog winning in very good style, CIICTKCHTOWN STAKES.— Hawkeve beat the Music Gentleman very smartly. Thornton defeated Ajax, running very like his brother, with plenty of determination. CEOSSKNS STAKES.— There was very little to notice between the competitors ; Tonnerre, King Pepin, Jersey, and Polly Coomes pulling through their trial. FRIDAY.— Turned out on the Churchtown meadows, belong- ing to the worthy rector of the parish, who, represented by his son, E. T. Hesketh, Esq, is always anxious to promote the sport, and we may say, during the whole of our coursing career we never enjoyed bitter sport, than for tha time we were; on his manor. Malibran, in descending the course with Countryman, won her trial verv spiritedly, and seemed to " go " better the further she went. Deacon never gave Barrator a shadow of a chance, the work the game old dog had done evidently telling upon him. CHURCIITOWN STAKES.— Hawkeye aud Thornton, own bro- thers, divided the stakes, in consequence of the former being sold to Mr Spinks for £ 50. Tonnerre, who had the advantage of the slip, beat Polly Coomes. Clear the Kitchen pulled off the beaten stakes, repeating his last year's performance. In con- cluding our remarks upon this meeting we cannot do so with- out complimenting the several trainers on the condition the dogs were brought to the slips. Malibran, a very fine bitch, seemed all that could be desired. Of Deacon we can only say that if all be well, he may prove a very dangerous customer for the Waterloo. Hawkeye and Thornton are two splendid puppies, the former ( rumour says) being bought to pull off the Crenoline picture at the KMgway club meeting in December. Ballane- rnoon is a very clever dog, and we were sorry he was too late for a nomination iu the t? p stake. DIRLET0N AND NORTH BERWICK CLUB MEETING— OCT 22 & 23. Judge: Mr R. Boulter. Slipper: Mr R.

MATCH, 10 sovs. Mr Elliott's be d Wallace 1 1 Mr BROW-,' W « 22 WEDNESDAY.— Met atCrossens, and turned out at the Sluice Bridge, when the sport commenced by Triton winning a short course, Columbus getting a fall at the first ditch. Dalton and Merry Red Jacket: All one way, the Durham dog winning easy. Banner Blue and Aurora: After two " no goes," B. B. won, with little to spare. Courier and The Lord Mayor: The civic gentleman leading to the first ditch, fell, and threw away his chance entirely. Many were disappointed at the result, as the favourite ( Lord Mayor) was backed to win a good stake. Her- mit and Emperor : The former won as he liked. Physician ran a bye, Sam Steel not being at the slips in time. John Scott and Mischief: This ended in favour of Mischief in a course of little merit. Malibran and Dusty Miller: This was a very smart trial, the bitch defeating the Miller in a very clever manner. Termagant and Danceaway, Countryman, Etoile du Nord, and Stephano need little description, each beating his opponent. Marc Antony and Cornet Graham : Marc led to the hare, made first turn, the Cornet, getting in, did some good work, and killed. Maid of Formby and Tipton: A very quick course, the bitch just winning. THE SOUTHPOET STAKES.— Prospeet easily defeated Drift. Mendicant ran a beautiful course with Fairlawn, defeating him with points to spare. Ajax defeated Flimsy, after an undecided course. Barrator and Merry England : The old dog ran as game as ever, and, after one undecided course ( in which he had a severe fall), won. Bloodshot and Gib : All one way, the red dog keeping up the fame of his very worthy owner's kennel. Surprise and Croxteth : The north dog outpacing the other throughout, after having two undecided courses. Deacon easily defeated, The Knight of Kars displaying in his running more fire than any dog at the meeting,- in our opinion. Malakoff beat North Star very easy, going first to the hare, turned, served himself, and killed. CHURCHTOWN STAKES.— Hawkeye led to hare, turned, let Fisherman in, made a go- bye, and killed. Paganini, fairly out- working Dart, beat him cleverly. Ajax beat Gaberlunzie in a short, . fast run course. A great deal of money changed hands. Thornton led to the hare, turned her, let Dangerous in, passed him, wresiched his game three times, and killed, winning this trial, as he did his subsequent, ones, in a very clever manner. THE CBOMBNS STAKES.— Madame Grisi led The Dupe to the hare, turned, and killed ; the dog evidently was not well. Ton- nerre very soou disposed of Charlie. Leader beat Dauntless cleverly. Jersey defeated Frank, reminding us in his running of his celebrated sirs ( Sackcloth). Poily Coomes, _ m a short smart spin to the hare, beat Duke aud won i Captain Cook just woa au average course, besting Spring, Mr Brown's Grisette beat Mr Callander's Sarcasm, and won the stakes.

Brown's Diamond beat Mr J. Callander's iEolus ( dr lame), and won the stakes. The humid mild weather which has prevailed in this quarter of late seemed to have impaired the enduring qualities of the hares, which have hitherto been proverbial for the stoutness © f their running. On the present occasion they appeared to have no confidence in facing the open field, but placed their safety in evading their pursuers, and dodging backwards and forwards through the hedge. This necessarily caused many " no goes, " and when, in many instances, decisions were given, the trials were unsatisfactory. We may, therefore, look forward to see soma of the St Leger dogs that were decided against in their first tie* occupy better places on their next appearance in public. It is due to the judge to state that although he took every pre caution to avoidslips to weak hares, still, from the preponderance of such, his wishes were baffled. Making allowance for these contretemps, he acquitted himself to the satisfaction of the meeting. COMBERMERE MEETING- OCT 26. The COMBEEMERE CUP. I.

This meeting, the proportions of which exhibited a consider able diminution, came off on Monday last. For the Combermere Cup there were but four, in lieu of sixteen competitors, whilst the list for the Burleydam Stakes was actually reduced to three entries. In order to eke out the sport, a new stake, called the Newhali Cup Stakes, was extemporised, which also obtained four subscribers. A good deal of time having been cut to waste in the morning, and hares being ( as reliable information had led us to expect) far from numerous, the programme, scanty as it was, found us as much as we could comfortably accomplish ere the dusky shades of evening drew around us. The lack of quan- tity in the sport was somewhat compensated for by its quality, a few of the trials being such as are rarely seen in enclosed coun- tries ; one of the attendant advantages upon the paucity of the entries being that we had to course for the principal stakes over the very cream of the land. All preliminaries having been ar ranged, amove was made from the Combermere Arms to Wicks ley Smithy, in the large pasture behind which Express and Virago are in the slips for the Combermere Cup. Express led Virago on outside ground, wrenched twice, and killed. Fairest Maiden and Sampson were then slipped to a weak bare, both being partially unsighted, owing to some rushes, amongst which she was killed, by which greyhound we were not able to distin- guish. This, as a matter of course, was undecided. In their deciding course, which was of great length and severity, the little bitch received not the slightest assistance from the " Man of Strength." For the Burleydam Stakes Whimsical and Don were slipped. The bitch got a little wide of her hare, and, crossing to get in her line, ran against Don; both fell head over heels, and were un- sighted ; undecided. Iti the deciding course, Whimsical led on outside ground, made first turn; Don wrenched and let the bitch in— she turned. At this point a fresh dog got loose, and the judge thinking sufficient merit had been displayed by the bitch, very properly decided the course. Alice ran a bye with a young puppy by Stockwell out of Ba? belle; the old one got first turn, the puppy wrenched and made a beautiful kill. Express and Fairest Maiden then ran off their deciding course for the Cup. The Maiden, to our eye, appeared somewhat too jolly, a defect in condition we have frequently had to note in her owner's kennel. She seemed to go stiff and stale from the slips, Express leading a couple of lengths, taking the first two turns, when Fairest Maiden got in, and made several wrenches in succession, and appeared as though going to win; in the next field, how- ever, she turned the hare well round, and put Express in, who then managed to turn the scale in her favour through the re- mainder of a very severe and well- contested course, thus return- ing the compliment she owed her antagonist for her defeat at Almington last season. Whimsical and Alice then ran the de- ciding course for the Burleydam Stakes. Whimsical led on outside ground, put the hare from the fence, bringing it back into the field, turning it, and letting the white collar in, who took it through the fence first. In a long stretch down the next field we were given to understand by the tryer that the red went by, wrenched, and the hare got to cover. For the Newhall Cross Stakes Sampson and Jerry Lee were slipped, the hare taking the fence, at which " the strong man stopped," Jerry going in and killing. Columbus and Virago : Columbus led a couple of lengths and turned the hare from the fence upon the bitch, who immediately made a clever kill; unde- cided. In the deciding course Columbus again led, gave a couple of wrenches, and finished with a dashing kill. For the deciding course for the stakes, Columbus rattled away with great fire and cleverness, turned, served himself, turned again, and again served himself, and was about to repeat the dose, when a third dog got loose. This caused a little confusion for a moment, but as soon as they settled to work again, Columbus showed decided superiority over both his antagonists, taking the hare to himself, and finishing with a fine kill. This closed the proceedings in the field, whence a goodly party repaired to thefamous hostelry of the bonny dameof CombermereArms, when, according to established usage, an excellent repast served up ( as is but rarely the case on occasions of this kind) all hot— dishes, vegetables, platters and sauces— received ample justice at the bands of the hungry lovers of the leash, Mr Spinks's Spire by his Spy out of his Southport, beat Mr J. U. West's War Office, by his Wivenhoe out of his Basnful, and won the stakes. The CROXTETH STAKES^ for bitch puppies; 60 subs. Cithe WUrg8 f W< i Bird° n} beat Mr RandeU's bk Rarity Mr E.

After a slumber of three years the coursers of Aberdeenshire awoke, rubbed their eyes, and ou Tuesday morning the village of Turriff was enlivened by their assembling. During the first day hares were scarce in the extreme. Whether they had gone into the snare of the navvy, who, with his love of midnight spoil and bold defiance of prudent keeper, swarms here at present, or whether a certain pair of panniers, ample in their dimensions, that ever and anon appeared, pony and all, as if by enchant- ment, at the death, and engulphed each fresh victim, had fore- stalled us, we need not here discuss. However, on our second day, beating towards Dalgetty Castle, we had the satisfaction of enjoying a few hours' coursing such as could not be surpassed. The spectators, horse and foot, were posted on the hill side, and, without moving many hundred yards, witnessed from 30 to 40 runs from beginning to end. Mr Cundall pleased all except a brace of elderly gentlemen, whose dogs wanted pace, and the slipper delivered his dogs free and without favour. On both days, by way of variety, we were repeatedly faveured with single- handed courses, but only Posset and Tuck had their courses in- terrupted by Tam O'Shanter, who, constantly hovering about Mr Chisholm's provision waggon, with a gallantry quite delight- ful left his sandwich, and hurrying to the assistance of the ladies, killed their hare. Mr Duncan, fined on the spot, did not reward Tarn in a seemly manner. In attendance was a large and eager crowd, who seemed much interested in the running. From the Earl of Fife the club have always received the kindest counte- nance, aud Colonel Maberley, the present tenant of Dalgetty, also kindly placed his well- stocked grounds at their disposal. THE CUP.— First ties: Fly, in a shortish run, led, swerved, and turned, Cock killing without merit. Tuck and Tam O' Shanter's course very similar, our jovial friend being outpaced. Countess and Snowball: The latter, to our optics, appeared a very black ball, arid rolled too often in the rfear. Though they were well matched, yet the course was too long for Snowball, who melted towards the finish. Daisy led some four lengths to the hare, and scored several points. Music came iu, and after this it was a very near thing between them, Daisy killing. Black Bess led to a gate, and flew it beautifully. Rocket belied his name, and stuck to the ground. Bess scored a point or so, and the hare was safe in cover. Captain was victorious over Victor in a short run. Slipped oa the edge of a bank and ditch, Miss Nightingale got first across by some yards, and rapidly reached her hare, drove it down hill, and killed where they started. Jenny kept close up, but could not go in. In a long uphill course Roebuck had the better both in pace and working powers of the imperial dog. Posset ran away from Rory, and made many strong points ere they disappeared from the judge, some amateurs then mounted the woolsack, and reversed the decision of Mr Cundall, bringing down hill wonderful stories of what Victor did at the end.— Second ties: Cowslip too fast for Fly, who did some work towards the end, ere the hare gained cover; Cowslip picked up very lame. Tuck took first turn, kept her hare, and turned once or twice. Daisy came with a rush, made a go bye, turned and killed. Black Bess was beaten from the slips, Miss Nightingale fl. ving cheerfully before her, turning and serving herself repeatedly, then into cover, from whence this philanthropical lady emerged with a foot so gashed that she was borne from the field. Roebuck beat Captain in a short course, being too fastfoi him.— Third ties: Tuck and Posset in a very long slip both got unsighted, but joining settled to the hare, and were doing work, Posset having the best of it, when Tam O'Shanter appeared on the stage. In the deciding course they reversed their running, Tuck leading and doing the needful. Roebuck ran a bye with Rocket, who beat him.— Fourth ties : Tuck and Roebuck now ran a long even course, and two short ones, without either manifesting superiority over the other, and iu their deciding course, beyond taking and retaining a strong lead, there was little in the dog's favour; he seemed to swerve his game once or twice, and. led out of the judge's sight. Having done this, he thought he ; had done enough, and lay down. The bitch, after running on a few more yards, followed his example, both quite used up. PUPPY STAKES.— The running for these, stakes was, in several of the courses, unseen by us, and we hesitate to give a descrip- tion of them from the accounts of others. The dogs appeared a good lot. The General is fast, and his working the second day was a great improvement on his first performance. Excelsior struck us as being the fastest of any out of the slips, but a bad cut, in topping a wall, spoiled her after performances. OPEX STAKES.— First ties : Music beat Maggie on all hands. Raglan left Victor, without allowing him a point. Willoughby seemed to have the speed, and led well away, but got unsighted for a time. On rejoining, the Emperor declined his assistance, tossed the hare about a little, and killed. Snowball led Fan, but he passed her, and picked up a weak hare.— Second tics : Raglan went off at a good pace, and scored some points. Music came in, and looked like winning, but the dog came again, and drove his hare into cover. Tam O'Shanter and Emperor had a fine race for first point, won by Tam, who kept closer to his hare than his antagonist— a good trial. Mr Duncan drew Raglan, declar- ing to win with Tatn.

Mr Dalzell's services in the capacity of judge were retained at this meeting; and he has won for himself, by his untiring energy, in connec- tion with a perfect knowledge of a course, the highest admira- tion and esteem. There was not one dissenting voice against his decisions, which is almost unprecedented. MARKET WEIGHT0N OPEN MESTING.- OCT 27,28, & 29.

The weather was highly favourable for the occasion, and the assemblage of visitors far and near from the surrounding districts induced to attend and take part in the proceedings was exceedingly nume- s. Amongst the leading sportsmen whom we noticed were— The Earl of Bective, M. P.; Sir James Ferguson, Bart, Ayrshire, M. P.; the Hon Col Lindsay ; H. Brougham, Esq, Brougham Hall; W. Brougham, Esq; W. Moore, Esq ; I. C. Wilson, Esq ; John Airey, Esq, barrister at law, Newlands; Mr Carruthers, Lancashire; D. Cloudsdale, Esq, Bowness, and most of the mem- bers of the principal families in the neighbourhood. TUESDAY.— THB BITCH PUPPY Cup.- The first brace put in the slips were Columbine and Minie Rifle, the latter not allow- ing its opponent the slightest shadow of a chance. The next course was run by Bloom and Chelsea ( undecided), which after- wards ended in favour of Bloom. Then came Cheapside and Clarissa, which was undecided, but after a short race ended in favour of Clarissa. THE DOG PUPPY CUP.— The owners of the animals were san- guiue as to their qualities and condition; the first for this stake being Ballarat and Musquet Ball. After a short but bungling course, jBallarat proved to be victorious. Edwin and Chariug Cross were slipped at a good hare, when Charing Cross went out of the slips like an arrow, turned his hare, wrenched her twice, and killed, thus allowing not a single point to his adversary. Con Amore and Sultan: Sultan beating the former without difficulty. Solon and Cloudy were next called to the slips. Wueii slipped Solon took considerable lead, making many points iu succession, leaving the Cloud to obtain more light. Birdcatcher and Clarence: The latter had all his own way throughout. Barley Thorpe and Battle : Barley Thorpe outrun- ning Battle, although the latter is a very promising pup, but too young for public running, according to his size. Cookston ran a bye— being the last of the Dog Puppy Stakes for the first ties. Now come the crack greyhounds of the country for LORD BECTIVE'S CUP.— Speed the Plough and Physician : Speed the Plough outrunning his opponent, which led us to believe that Physician is an indifferent greyhouud. It will be needless to say anything with regard to the merits of Sunbeam and Mys- tery, who ran the next race. When placed in the slips Sunbeam had the call; puss was " so- hoed," which excited the company to a great extent; but, at the word " go" from the Judge, the run was in favour throughout of the great light. Delta beQ. t Hughie Graham, not allowing the latter a single point; and it may be remembered by all that the former is a most wonderful animal, being eight years old, and probably not having had throughout his time the most hospitable masters. Sebastian beat Missie. Rattler and Lawson : Lawson was withdrawn, for tho best of all reasons that could be accounted for. Madora and I O U ran au undecided course, but afterwards ending in favour of Medora, leaving the latter still indebted. Sidonia beat Frank Wildeye after a smart race. Mountaineer and Aurora : In this contest both dogs were backed freely, their qualities having formerly been well tested. A good hare was put up with a long slip, when Aurora went iu advance to the hare, turned her, served herself, wrenched her three times, putting the hare at last to the nose of Mountaineer, which ended in a kill. BEHDBIGG ALL- AGE STAKES.— Mr Owen's Old October and Maid ef the Mill ran an undecided course, which the judge was unable to see, but ultimately ended in favour of Maid of the Mill. Charlie beat Bante. Campbell beat Meg Merrilies after a soia- t race. Sortie beat Eugenie, the former much outpacing the latter. Governor beat Sir William in good style. Billet beat Modesty, Billet showing great speed to the hare, although worked wide, putting Modesty next to her game, but afterwards showing a superiority of speed, and a good killer, making the latter blush at the finish, Bess and Smuggler : Smuggler being somewhat too quick for Bess, after having a severe tall, termi- nated in his favour. Bonny Morn and Sleeping Partner: The latter had it all her own way. This ended the Beudrigg All- age Stakes. Bitch Puppies— Second Ties: Mime Rifle beat Bloom iu good style, both as regards pace aud working. Clarissa ran a bye. Dog Puppies: Baflarat ran a bye. The next were Charing oross and Sultan, upon which a good deal of money was laid out, each having friends; a good hare was found to test the animals. At the word " go," Charing Cross went from his op- ponent as if standing, putting in some good and close work, finally killing, without his adversary having a single point, which bids fair for the public to think that he is a first- class greyhound. Solon and Clarissa : The former not allowing his opponent a single point. Cookston ran a bye. This ended the proceedings of the first day's coursing, after which the com- pany adjourned to the Three Mile House, where a sumptsous repast was provided by the worthy host, whose abilities as caterer on the occasion, gave evident satisfaction to the parties assembled to partake of his good cheer. Ttee Earl of Bective presided at the board, and displayed all those good qualities which he is well known to exercise at all the meetings which he honours with his presence. After the loyal toasts of the even- ing were over, another stake was made up, called the Underley Hall Stake, after which the dogs were called over in the different slakes, and each auimal at the chance of being backed by his friend. On this being done the company separated, hoping to have the noble earl to be president for many years to come. WEDNESDAY.— The morning proved auspicious, and all that could be wished for by the numerous spectators present. Bar- ley thorpe and Cookston: After an undecided course, the former showed speed to the hare, and picked her up, thus ending the second ties for the Dog Puppy Cup. LOED BECTIVE'S CUP.— Second ties.— Sunbeam and Speed the Plough: Sunbeam, in his usual style of running, led to the hare by four or five lengths, making a beautiful turn, wrenched, aud then gave the hareto his opponent, when he passed him, and finished the matter by a splendid kill. Delta and Sebastian : After a short but merry course, ended in favour of Delta. Ma- dora beat Rattler cleverly. Aurora and Sidonia : Aurora led to the hare by four lengths, putting in some splendid work, and making a wonderful kill, finished the proceedings of the course without Sidonia having a point. This finished the second ties. BENDBIGG ALL AGE STAKES.— Second ties : Charley, after a no- go, beat Maid of the Mill, Sortie beat Campbell. Billet beat Governor. Sleeping Partner beat Smuggler. UNDEBLBY HALL STAKBS.— First ties: Bosio beat Old October. Hughie Graham beat Styx in gallant style. Moun- taineer beat Brave ( late Adonis). DOG PUPPIES.— Third ties: . Ballarat beat Charing Cross, after a no- go, Charing Cross showing distress from his hard running. Solon beat Barley Thorpe, Solon not allowing his opponent a point. LOBD BECTIYE'S CUP.— Third ties: Sunbeam beat Delta. This was a well- contested race. After the dogs were slipped the hare somewhat favoured Delta ; Sunbeam ran in the outer circle, making the first turn, giving position to Delta, when he lost noopportunity in making a turn, followed up by wrenching the hare twice, when Sunbeam came in and made a meritorious kill. Aurora beat Madora with a long slip ; Aurora showed pace to the hare, and from her working qualities distinguished herself as a first- class greyhound, Madora being no despicable foe to contend with. RUN UP POB THE BITCH PUPPY CUP.— Minie Rifle and Clarissa: The running of Minie Rifle throughout was almost beyond praise, in this case as in all others having it all her own way, proving herself to be an extraordinary greyhound. RUN UP BOB THE DOG PUPPY CUP.— Solon and Ballarat: Solon, as usual, being the favourite, a bare was put up of the best description. Solon went off as rapid as lightning, getting to the hare ten lengths in advance, making a beautiful attempt to kill, but fell heavily. Ballarat took possession of puss, wrenched her twice, when Solon, with speed at command, went past Ballarat, struck at the hare, determined to kill, but floundered, allowing the Russian another chance, which appeared not lost, he now making the best use of his time, doing some neat work, when Solon came in, turned, led over the fence, turned twice in suc- cession, allowing Ballarat another, when the Grecian finished the proceedings by a splendid kill. LOED BECTIVE'S CUP.— Sunbeam and Aurora: This was along slip, going closely together for two hundred yards, when the crack crept away from the bitch, making the first turn, and fell, allowing Aurora possession of the game, during which time she wrenched the hare twice in succession, and turned, when Sun- beam finished off the ball by a turn and a kill, BENDHIGG ALL- AGE STAKBS.— Sortie beat Charley. Sleeping Partner and Billet ran an undecided course, after which great interest was shown amongst the sportmen, both of the animals being known to be of first- rate material, Billet hanging in the slips, allowing the advantage to her opponent for three or four lengths, Sleeping Partner getting to her game first, then ailov- iug Billet to join in the affray, but the former's superior style of working did away with any chance which its oppoaent might BELLEEK ( IRELAND) MEETING- OCT 21 & 22.

MB EDITOE : We had a brilliant meeting for this country, both as to company, good greyhounds, and plenty of game. Hospitality ad infinitum at Castle Caldwell, and nothing to mar the sport, except some cavilling at one or two decisions which were not generally approved of.— Yours & c, SPBCTATOB. THE LATE WILTSHIRE CHAMPION MEETING. ME EDITOR : Your last paper gives us a fair account of this celebrated fixture, and I regret that the stewards' decision has not been equally satisfactory; but it is reparted generally that they erred in judgment in disqualifying Mr. Bowie's dogs on the ground advanced, namely, that the rule referred to governed his case. As one of the public, I think it only fair that the rule should be made known, and I hope the stewards will kindly send you a copy, that it may be made generally known; and it is important to know what is, and what is not a public meeting; as I and my friends have a difficulty in believing that a meeting got up by arrangement between four gentlemen, confined to them, and never advertised ( such as was that held at Cromer), can be considered by competent judges a public meetinir, such as was intended to disqualify the running of the dogs in ques- tion. Your columns, ever open to fair play, will, I trust, afford the Stewards of the Wiltshire Champion Meeting an oppor- tunity of explaining their decision, and furnishing the public a copy of the rule in question.— Yours, & c., A BYE.

THE LATE SCOETON MEETING.— Mr Editor: In looking over your answers to correspondents on coursing, I find that Mr Thomas Surtees has asked your opinion respecting a decision of mine at the late Open Scorton Meeting upon two byes ( run to- gether to save hares): and judging from your veto on the sub- ject, I have every reason to believe that you have been misled with regard to the real facts of the case, which, like the reading of an act of Parliament, may have been worded to suit circum- stances ( parts left out). The case is as follows:— After ranging some time over a large rough grass pasture without finding a hare, we were returning over the beaten ground to a fresh beat, when a small kit hare getting up, the word " KO" was given by many, bid not by me, I being at that time at least two hundred yards off to the left. The dogs being slipped, the black was im- mediately unsighted, and the blue, in a run of a hundred and fifty yards, killed a hare of not more than 3£ lb weight, which was very much baffled, and partly stuck in the fence. I imme- diately gave it a " no course," and ordered the dogs in the slips again— and justly so, for bad this been a course in the regular way, on the card, was it a proper course to have been decided ? Next, wouM it have been right to have given it " undecided ?" " No." For the following reasons:— The blue, which ran and killed the little hare, might bave been drawn, and the other do- clared the winner, although as the same time he had not run his regular course, and would have run one course less than his next and following competitors. There would be no justice in such instances as this, and it would establish a rule of luck instead of one of merit; it being the duty of a judge to see that dogs in a " bve" are fairly sighted, and have the given length of law as in an ordinary course, it being luck enough for a dog to have to run a bye without having the double advantage of running a course of no merit, and partially unsighted. A similar case occurred on Thursday last, at the Wiltshire Champion— two black dogs being slipped at a hare, both, through the undulation of tiie ground, were for a short time unsighted ; one caught sight and killed a weak hare immediately, the other running a few hun- dred, yards in another direction. I at once fjave this as a " no course," and the dogs were again put in the slips. This proves the necessity for uniformity of judging. Having now given you a true statement of the facts, 1 leave your readers to judge for themselves.— Yours, & c, J. H. M'GEOBGE.— Burton- upon- Trent, Oct 27, 1857. We are happy to hear that it is iis contemplation to re- establish the famous old coursing meeting at Swaffhana, and sincerely hope that, ere the season is brought to a close, we may have again to chronicle the deeds of Norfolk greyhounds. The Baron Hill Meeting is postponed to the 1st and 2d Dec. The Bryn- y- Pys Meeting is fixed for Dec 9, the judge to be voted for at the time of drawing. THAMES SUBSCRIPTION CLUB. The November meeting of the Club will be held to- morrow ( Monday) evening, at eight o'clock, at the Freemasons' Tavern ; dinner on table at six o'clock precisely. Members intending to dine must give notice to the secretary, not later than two o'clock on that day. CITY INTELLIGENCE. MONETARY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. Although the general situation of monetary affairs is still very much perplexed, greater confidence is now felt, and as the worst is probably past, the public seem to be looking forward with much anxiety for au early improvement. The various influences which have caused so much disturbance « f late are too important to admit of any v « ry sudden reaction. The increase of ihe rate for discount to 8 per cent appears to have produced the effect which was anticipated, and the pressure for notes and gold is lessened, although the precious metals are still forwarded to the Continent, aud, to a certain extent, to America. The demand for money continues to be maintained at a high point. The in « telligence received from America has caused an improved feeling in trade, because it is seen that the crisis has been surmounted, aud that the cessation of specie payments has been the means of allaying much of the excitement. The point to which attention is now chiefly directed is the probable em « barrassment which the failures across the Atlantic and the absence of remittances may occasion. Failures have already occurred in our manufacturing towns, and it is feared tha6 further difficulties cannot bo avoided from the intricate com- mercial relations between the two countries. The failure of the Liverpool Borough Bank and the difficulties of the Western Bank of Scotland have also added to the general uneasiness, but, considering the extent of the crisis, the Indian mutiny, and the elevated rates of discount here and abroad, the public must be prepared for such adverse contingencies. Specie must be sent in large quantities to India, but it is expected that the imports from Australia and elsewhere will be large enough to prevent any material diminution of our stock of gold and silver. The Bank of England, as will be seen by the subjoined account, made up for the week ending the 24< th of October, has been strained rather severely, but if, as many imagine, the turning point has been attained, some improvement may so, in be expected. The Bank of England weekly return made up to the 21th inst shows a decrease ia the stock of bullion of £ 151,681, the total amounting to £ 9,369,794. The notes unemployed were increased £ 268,655, they now standing at £ 3,485,840. The other securities were smaller by £ 134,968, viz, to £ 20,404,597, aud the active circulation payable on demand decreased £ 416,980, the total standing at £ 19,766,265. The Funds during the last few days have exhibited greater firmness, and from the lowest point lately recorded the recovery has been nearly 2 per cent. The purchases of the public for investment have stimulated this movement, but it is also noticed that the speculators for the fall are operating with greater cau- tion, and that they have in many instances retraced their steps. Consols closed yesterday afternoon at 89 f i for money, and at 89i i for the account. Late in the afternoon they were per cent higher. The New Threes and Reduced have moved with the Funds. Exchequer Bills are 13s to 10s discount.

THE WATERLOO BRIDGE MURDER. The adjourned inquest on the remains found at Waterloo Bridge on the 9th October was resumed on Monday, wh^' a Di A. S waine Taylor was examined, and stated that be hi^ exa- mined the remains. These remains ( said the doctor) a# e parts of a human body, and, making some allowance for ting missing portions, they admit of an accurate adjustment to ea{ ch Other. Twenty- three pieces of the body were shown to me, consisting chiefly of bones, with the flesh adhering to them. Qfhe flesh had been roughly cut from the bones, apparently witl% the view of removing as much of it as possible, and the parts | had been cut aud sawn into small lengths, probably to reduce tiheir bulk, and to allow them to be packed within a small sp ace. The trunk, including part of the chest and spine, had beer, jcut into eight pieces; the upper limbs have been cut or sawn Unto six, and the lower limbs into nine pieces. The deficient Portions are the lit ad, with the greater part of the spiuo— namely, 14 out of 24. verte. bne ( 7 cervical and 7 upper dorsal), the ha^ ds, the feet, and some pertions of the left side of the chest. Tl- ne whole of the viscera of the chest and abdomen are also deficient. When compared with the average weight of the body, the ( quantity found is small. The 23 pieces produced, after soaking i. ji brine for some days, weighed only 181b. This is about oue- eigh> th of the average weight of the adult body. Dr Taylor then wea^ on to say :— From the examination he was of opinion that the tje « ceased was a male person, between 30 and 40 years of age, ant}, he should say, a dark, hairy man. As to the marks of violence, and cause of death, Dr Taylor said:—" The cutting and sawing of these remains took place after death. The cutting has beeii effected roughly with a knife, while the sawing has been pet- formed in the shafts of the long bones with a fine saw. In Oqe portion of the left side of the chest, comprising the secona( third, and fourth ribs, with one half of the chest bone attached^-' there is au aperture in the flesh presenting the appearance of a stab. It is situated in front, between the third and fourth ribs,, near their junction with the chest bone. It has penetrated the, cavity of the chest, and presents, as seen from the inside, an opening of abeut 6- 10ths of an inch in its longest axis, which isi obliquely placed, but inclined to a vertical direction. Assuming; that this wound had been inflicted during life, it would hava penetrated the heart, and have produced rapid, if not imme » diate death. The muscles of the chest through which this stab had passed were for some space around of a dark red colour, evidently produced by blood which had been effused as a result of this wound. This appearance is unlike that produced by a cut or stab in a cold dead body, iu which circulation has ceased. The edges of the wound are everted ; and this fact, together; with the infiltration of the muscles with blood, which even the soaking in liquid for a week had not removed, lead me to the1 conclusion that this wound was inflicted on the deceased either during life, or within a few minutes of death— i. e., while thi body was warm, and the blood was liquid. There is no othe;- mark of violence during life, or any other appearance in the re- mains which points to a cause of death. The deceased may have, actually died from a fracture to the skull and injury to the brain, or from a stab iu the abdomen affecting some large blood vessel^ As the organs of the chest and abdsmen are not forthcoming, any opinion on the cause of death must be a matter of specula- tion. The ribs and muscles of the right side of the chest ( which are complete in three pieces), when placed together and exa- mined, present no marks of stabbing or fracture; any mortal wound on the chest, therefore, must have been on the left side. The first, fifth, and sixth ribs, with their attached muscles, are wanting on this side. There may have been stabs in the spaces between these missing ribs which would have involved the large blood vessels of the chest or the heart itself. The profes- sor then stated that the flesh had been boiled. An examination of the swollen shafts of the long bones clearly shows tfcat the marrow has been melted out and removed by boiling water from the medullary cavities at each exposed extremity. The boiling has not been continued for a length of time, since the deep- seated portions of the muscles do not show the changes which would have otherwise been produced in them, and the marrow is not removed from the centre of the long bones The divided ends of the: arteries, and the divided portions of the spinal mar- row, with its sheath, also show such effects as boiling water would produce. The cut portions of the arteries are opaque, hardened, and everted. The conclusions to which he came were as follow :— " 1. That the remains are those of a person of the male sex, of adult age, and in stature of at least five feet nine inches. " 2. That they present no physiological or pathological pecu- liarities by which they can be identified. The only fact observ- able under this head is, that the portions of skin remaining are thickly covered with dark hairs oa the wrist and right knee, and that the deceased was therefore, probably, a dark, hairy man. " 3. That the remaiKS present no mark of disease, or of vio- lent injury inflicted during li'e, with the exception of one stab in the space between the third and fourth ribs on the left side of the chest. This stab was in a situatini to penetrate the heart, and to cause death. It presents the characters of a stab inflicted on a person either living, or recently dead. '* 4. That these remains have not been dissected, or used for the purposes of anatomy. All those parts which are useful to the anatomist have been roughly severed and destroyed by a person or persons quite ignorant of the anatomical relations of parts. They have been cut and sawn before tho rigidity of death had ceased, i. e., in from 18 to 24 hours after death, and in this state have been partially boiled and subsequently salted. The body of the deceased has not been laid out or attended like that of a person dying from natural causes, whose body might be lawfully used for anatomical purposes. " That the person of whose body these remains are a part, may have been dead for a period of three or four weeks prior to the date at which they were examined by me— namely, on the 2lst of October." As to the clothes, he said he found blood on them. Some of the stains of blood present the appearance of having flowed from a living person, and this renders it therefore probable that the clothes were on a living body when the wounds producing such effusion of blood were inflicted. While there is nothing to prove directly that these clothes were worn by the deceased, they bave, in my opinion, been worn by some one who has sustained serious personal injuries. Their condition, however, is consist- ent with the supposition that they were actually worn by the deceased individual with whose remains they were found.— After the summing up the jury gave the following verdict :— " That the remains under investigation were those ef a mete-, person of adult age, who had been wilfully murdered by soCTtf person or persons unknown."— At the conclusion of the inqui- sition Dr Taylor took occasion to say to the court that in the analysis he had made of the deceased's remains he had received most valuable assistance from Mr Painter, the divisional sur- geon, and that, without such assistance, he should not have been able to complete his examination within the requisite time.— Mr Painter asked, now that the jury had come to a decision, what was to be done with the remains of the deceased, which, he added, were at present at the Bow- street police station in a preservative fluid ?— The Coroner said he thought they should be kept for the present in the custody of the police. He should give no order for their interment until it was asked for by Su- perintendent Durkin.— Superintendent Burkin said they would be retained for the present, lest by any chance other parts of the body might hereafter be found.— With this the proceedings terminated. WINTBE ASSIZE.— There will be winter assizes for general gaol delivery in the larger counties, and where the greatest number of prisoners are to be found. These assizes will be held for criminal trials only, as they have been for two or three years past.
